Oh, you can get this past Pavel (and probably Greg) -- if you have a
good reason. Performance is _not_ a good reason. You don't need to
change LED color 50000 times a second.

If you can demonstrate a reasonable design, where user selects color
from well-known RGB pallete and either kernel or library+kernel acts
to set that color on the LED, we can talk.

When user asks for white, it has to be white. Exact color temperature
does not matter. When user asks for pink, it has to be pink. Again,
exact color does not matter; different monitors display slightly
different colors, too.
