I don't understand the second sentence. Pretty sure it is not valid

If I make these changes is this still viable for 5.8 or would you then go
into 5.9?

It really depends if we get -rc8 or not, and if you'll need to do any
changes to C code or not...

I think that we need to simmer such a big extension of the LED
subsystem for a whole cycle in linux-next, especially taking into
account addition of new sysfs interface, that is bit quirky.

Effectively 5.8 seems to not have been viable since few weeks.

After thinking about this for a while I would actually think to have this in 5.9.

Either 5.7 or 5.8 will be the 2020 LTS and such a new interface would be best suited for intermediate stable releases that get EOL'd faster.

This way we don't have to back port bug fixes for 2 years.
