Thanks for the explanation. I'm OK with that approach.
Since we have your attention, could you perhaps attempt to answer the
question so we can fix the fixme?
This is the way how all led triggers are being registered.
Once a trigger module is loaded it needs to be registered in
the LED Trigger core.
That does not explain WHY this needs to happen in the low level bringup phase
of the CPU with interrupts disabled and can't be done from the normal ONLINE
callbacks in thread context.
It was before my time in kernel, so I can only suppose that it was
the easiest way. Does it introduce some problems?
