We can discuss minimal interface additions neccessary to support your usecases. But what you proposed was nowhere near close. Note that we don't want to support every crazy feature, just because hardware can do it. > However, the main reason why someone (including myself) want this > driver is to allow to dynamically change what hardware event will > be triggering the LED and how, and if suspend will blink or not[1]. > Being able to also change the LED color is a plus.

Having power LED on when machine is on, and slowly "breathing" when machine is suspended is something I have seen before. Is that what your hardware is doing?
