The ABI (not API, but maybe I'm being picky) used here is that
of the LED class, extended with one sysfs file that selects a
keyboard effect from an enumerated list of effects.

Anything more esoteric than that is not part of the patch
and maybe should be handled by userspace rather than the
kernel.

Let me iterate this point: both/and not either/or.
