The kernel already has at least eight different definitions of
MAX_NAME_LEN. I guess a ninth won't hurt ;)

This all looks horridly broken. We call ledtrig_cpu_register() once
for each CPU, but we call it on the same CPU each time, and it uses
smp_processor_id() which a) is wrong and b) will emit a runtime
preemption-is-enabled warning.
I'm assuming this wasn't tested on SMP. It needs to be, please.
Also, the code uses for_each_possible_cpu, ignoring CPU hotplug.
That's probably justifiable for this small storage size and not-hotpath
code, but the decision should be given prominence and justified in the
changelog or, better, in code comments please.

The patchset is basically an ARM thing. Is there some ARM tree via
which we can get it merged?
