Hi,
I am aware of this issue. I plan to change the driver to multicolor led
class as soon as it is available. But from the discussions I have read
it does not seem it will be available in the next kernel release. I
would like at least full brigthness for the next release and maybe hw
triggering, for which the first version I plan to send this week...
