Again, without a real patch, no maintainer or developer will ever say if
they will, or will not, accept such a thing. That's just not how kernel
development works. Working patches are what is discussed as that proves
that at least, the idea works.
And that's certainly their prerogative. You asked why I hadn't
attempted to submit changes upstream to address my issue, and I provided
my reasons for not doing so.
After several experiences where I've invested a significant (to me)
amount of time, only to ultimately be told that the functionality that I
implemented really wasn't desired, I'm very reluctant to repeat that
experience (and I honestly don't think that's particularly selfish or
unreasonable).
This doesn't mean that I absolutely won't make an attempt to do this.
As I mentioned in my previous note, the existence of ledtrig-disk.c
gives me some hope that changes might be accepted.
I'll just have to see ...
