Message-ID: <20230821121453.30203-1-kabel@kernel.org> Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2023 14:14:53 +0200 From: Marek Behún <kabel@...nel.org> To: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch>, Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@...il.com> Cc: Marek Behún <kabel@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH net] leds: trigger: netdev: rename 'hw_control' sysfs entry to 'offloaded' Commit b655892ffd6d ("leds: trigger: netdev: expose hw_control status via sysfs") exposed to sysfs the flag that tells whether the LED trigger is offloaded to hardware, under the name "hw_control", since that is the name under which this setting is called in the code. Everywhere else in kernel when some work that is normally done in software can be made to be done by hardware instead, we use the word "offloading" to describe this, e.g. "LED blinking is offloaded to hardware". Normally renaming sysfs entries is a no-go because of backwards compatibility. But since this patch was not yet released in a stable kernel, I think it is still possible to rename it, if there is consensus.
