This can be done before 'if (boot)'

Same Q here: wouldn't it be better to put each of the parameters to a
separate sysfs node? Or look at the LED ABI (that what Pavel mentioned
for multi-color patterns) and see if there are already some
established ways of how to represent necessary information?

  if (save)
    flags = BIT(8);

Use BIT() for flags.

Why not provide flags to be a full 32-bit value?

Also 0xBD can be lower-cased and explained somehow?

No need for a blank line.

Ditto and same for many other similar cases.

BIT(0) ? (This might require to add bits.h inclusion)
