I tried modifying uleds.c driver to support pattern ops, but
I'm getting segfault when doing "cat pattern". I didn't give
it serious testing and analysis - will do it at weekend.

It also drew my attention to the issue of desired pattern sysfs
interface semantics on uninitialized pattern. In your implementation
user seems to be unable to determine if the pattern is activated
or not. We should define the semantics for this use case and
describe it in the documentation. Possibly pattern could
return alone new line character then.

This is the code snippet I've used for testing pattern interface:

static struct led_pattern ptrn[10];
static int ptrn_len;

static int uled_pattern_clear(struct led_classdev *ldev)
{
	return 0;
}

static int uled_pattern_set(struct led_classdev *ldev,
				  struct led_pattern *pattern,
				  int len)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
		ptrn[i].brightness = pattern[i].brightness;
		ptrn[i].delta_t = pattern[i].delta_t;
	}

	ptrn_len = len;

	return 0;
}

static struct led_pattern *uled_pattern_get(struct led_classdev *ldev,
						  int *len)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ptrn_len; i++) {
		ptrn[i].brightness = 3;
		ptrn[i].delta_t = 5;
	}

	*len = ptrn_len;

	return ptrn;
}

Please check this in led_classdev_register() and fail
if pattern_set is initialized, but pattern_get or pattern_clear not.

This should not be needed if we'll validate pattern ops
in led_classdev_register().
