Right now these 3 directories in /sys/class/leds:

nct6795d:blue:
nct6795d:green:
nct6795d:red:

with the usual suspects `brightness` and `max_brightness` in each. I
am not 100% sure I got the names right so please let me know if that
is not correct.

just didn't want to look like I was throwing this code at you without
following up on its maintenance.

Cheers,
