Please nooo :)
This is exactly what I wanted to avoid, this logic should be in the LED
driver itself.
Can you please at least read my last proposal?
patch 2
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20210601005155.27997-3-kabel@xxxxxxxxxx/
adds the trigger_offload() method. This may need to get changed to
trigger_offload_start() and trigger_offload_stop(), as per Andrew's
request.
patch 3
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20210601005155.27997-4-kabel@xxxxxxxxxx/
moves the whole struct led_netdev_data to global include file
include/linux/ledtrig-netdev.h
patch 4
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20210601005155.27997-5-kabel@xxxxxxxxxx/
makes netdev trigger to try to call the trigger_offload() method.
So after patch 4, netdev trigger calls trigger_offload() methods and
passes itself into it.
Example implementation is then in patch 10 of the series
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20210601005155.27997-11-kabel@xxxxxxxxxx/
Look at omnia_led_trig_offload() function.
The benefit of this API is that it is flexible - all existing triggers
an be theoretically offloaded to HW (if there is HW that supports it)
without change to this API, and with minimal changes to the sw
implementations of the triggers.
Could you please at least try it?
I am willing to work with you on this. We can make a conference call
tomorrow, if you are able to.
