Confused. I thought that "breathing mode" would be handled similar way
to hardware blinking: userland selects pattern trigger, pattern file
appears (similar way to delay_on/delay_off files with blinking), he
configures it, hardware brightness follows the pattern ("breathing
mode"). If pattern is no longer required, echo none > trigger stops
it.
