Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/6] leds: trigger: add API for HW offloading of triggers
From: Marek Behún <kabel@...nel.org>
Add method trigger_offload() and member variable `offloaded` to struct
led_classdev. Add helper functions led_trigger_offload() and
led_trigger_offload_stop().
The trigger_offload() method, when implemented by the LED driver, should
be called (via led_trigger_offload() function) from trigger code wanting
to be offloaded at the moment when configuration of the trigger changes.
If the trigger is successfully offloaded, this method returns 0 and the
trigger does not have to blink the LED in software.
If the trigger with given configuration cannot be offloaded, the method
should return -EOPNOTSUPP, in which case the trigger must blink the LED
in SW.
The second argument to trigger_offload() being false means that the
offloading is being disabled. In this case the function must return 0,
errors are not permitted.
An additional config CONFIG_LEDS_OFFLOAD_TRIGGERS is added to add support
for these special trigger offload driven.

+Hardware offloading of LED triggers
+===================================
+
+Some LEDs can offload SW triggers to hardware (for example a LED connected to
+an ethernet PHY or an ethernet switch can be configured to blink on activity on
+the network, which in software is done by the netdev trigger).
+
+To do such offloading, LED driver must support the this and a deficated offload
+trigger must be used. The LED must implement the trigger_offload() method and
+the trigger code must try to call this method (via led_trigger_offload()
+function) when configuration of the trigger (trigger_data) changes.
+
+The implementation of the trigger_offload() method by the LED driver must return
+0 if the offload is successful and -EOPNOTSUPP if the requested trigger
+configuration is not supported and the trigger should be executed in software.
+If trigger_offload() returns negative value, the triggering will be done in
+software, so any active offloading must also be disabled.
+
+If the second argument (enable) to the trigger_offload() method is false, any
+active HW offloading must be deactivated. In this case errors are not permitted
+in the trigger_offload() method.
