It means that after a trigger is once assigned to a LED class device
it will be impossible to deactivate it. Why not leaving it to the
user's decision whether they want to have hw brightness changes
notifications? This way we disable the possibility to set different
trigger like e.g. timer, after this one is set, which is not
a non-realistic scenario.
Generally it is quite odd to add a functionality that once
set is latched. If one will set such a trigger by mistake, then
system restart will be required to reset this (unless the driver
is built as a module).
