Hi! Multicolor is a bit too abstract. Yes, we can have Green-Magenta-Ultraviolet LED, but so far all the LEDs we support are RGB, and not even RGB-White or RGB-Yellow variants emerged. Multicolor is not a good fit for RGB LED. It does not really know about LED color. In particular, there's no way to make LED "white". Userspace is interested in knowing "this LED can produce arbitrary color", which not all multicolor LEDs can. Proposal: let's add "rgb" to led_colors in drivers/leds/led-core.c, add corresponding device tree defines, and use that, instead of multicolor for RGB LEDs. We really need to do that now; "white" stuff can wait. RGB LEDs are quite common, and it would be good to be able to turn LED white and to turn it into any arbitrary color. It is essential that userspace is able to set arbitrary colors, and it might be good to have that ability from kernel, too... to allow full-color triggers.
