I do not see reason for such ABI. If you want to disable, just unbind it.

Not possible...

You cannot go to the past. 6.14 was released. This will be v6.16 or later.

Looks like wrong path here and everywhere else. I think other name it as
led driver, e.g.
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-driver-lm3533

I do not see kernel exposing it for other devices, drop.

No, you already have standard ABI for this. I also already told you that
you cannot duplicate existing kernel interface.

NAK, duplicating existing brightness.

Also duplicating brigthness.

Why so many blank lines? Drop
