Making a RGB trigger dependent on LED RGB class would mean to enclose all calls to trigger
functions in the RGB trigger like this:
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_RGB)
trigger_function()
#endif
This would apply to led_trigger_(un)register, led_trigger_event, led_trigger_blink, etc.
And I think it wouldn't be too nice to force other kernel modules wanting to implement
a RGB trigger to add these conditional compile statements.
Alternatively, as mentioned before, we would have to add this to all public trigger functions:
#if !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_RGB)
if (trig->flags & LED_TRIG_CAP_RGB))
return;
#endif
I think this would add significant overhead w/o gaining really something.
