I believe I meant "changing patterns from kernel in response to events

pattern trigger should create "pattern" file similarly how ledtrig-timer
creates delay_{on|off} files.
Yes, that sounds reasonable. v5 still says
+ Writing non-empty string to this file will activate the pattern,
+ and empty string will disable the pattern.
I'd deactivate the pattern by simply writing something else to the
trigger file.
Please keep in mind that this is ABI documentation for the pattern file
to be exposed by LED core, and not by the pattern trigger, that, as we
agreed, will be implemented later. In this case, I'd go for
"echo 0 > brightness" as a command disabling pattern. The same operation
disables triggers, so later transition to using pattern trigger will be
seamless for userspace.
