Shouldn't the led return to the line controlled steady state?

Sorry I do not understand your question.

Set an invert variable to true if state was TTY_LED_ENABLE before it got set
to TTY_LED_BLINK

No matter whether the LED is on or off beforehand. I understand that the LED is always on for the first half of the period and off for the rest of the period. I think that is correct and I don't need to make a distinction
via invert here. I hope I have understood your comment correctly here.

How do interval and the frequency of ledtrig_tty_work() relate?

The work is twice as long as of the interval. So the variable
LEDTRIG_TTY_INTERVAL = 50 and the work is scheduled LEDTRIG_TTY_INTERVAL * 2.
But that was also before my change.

This explains why you don't necessarily need to invert the blink.
If E.g. both CTS and TX are configured I would expect to see the led turn on once CTS actives and then blink off when something is transmitted. After that
I expect to see the led still on because CTS is still active.

The evaluation starts again with the next iteration of the work.
And if no data was transferred but CTS was set, the LED is enabled again
but does not flash.

Now only because the work interval is 2*LEDTRIG_TTY_INTERVAL and the blink uses an interval of LEDTRIG_TTY_INTERVAL for both on and off the user doesn't
notice any difference except maybe a bit of delay of the blink.

That is correct

If either the work schedule was larger than 2*LEDTRIG_TTY_INTERVAL or the on
interval would differ from the off interval the behaviour would differ
noticably.

This is why I recommend to use an invert variable that is set to true when
the previous state was TTY_LED_ENABLE.

In the next patch round, I will save the state of the LED and evaluate whether
I need to invert the LED if the state of the LED has been set to blink.

Thanks for your feedback
