No sanity checking on the name -> probably a security hole. Do not
push this upstream before this is fixed.

And actually... is it possible to have more then one userspace LED
with this interface? I do have RGB LED connect on /dev/ttyUSB0, and I
guess userspace driver would be appropriate, but it needs 3
channels...

Each new successful write to /dev/uleds creates a new LED class device.

See Documentation/leds/uleds.txt.
