The tty LED trigger uses the obsolete LED_ON & LED_OFF constants when setting LED brightness. This is bad because the LED_ON constant is equal to 1, and so when activating the tty LED trigger on a LED class device with max_brightness greater than 1, the LED is dimmer than it can be (when max_brightness is 255, the LED is very dimm indeed; some devices translate 1/255 to 0, so the LED is OFF all the time). Use a mechanism similar to the netdev trigger, wherein on activation time, the current LED brightness is taken as blinking brightness, and if it is zero, the max_brightness is taken instead.
