4 Subject: [PATCH 02/13] leds: add API to get attached device for LED hw control
6 Some specific LED triggers blink the LED based on events from a device
8 For example, an LED could be blinked to indicate a network device is
9 receiving packets, or a disk is reading blocks. To correctly enable and
10 request the hw control of the LED, the trigger has to check if the
11 network interface or block device configured via a /sys/class/led file
12 match the one the LED driver provide for hw control for.
14 Provide an API call to get the device which the LED blinks for.
