Plus, it is very much unlike existing interfaces for RGB LEDs, which we already have supported in the tree. (At least nokia N900 and Sony motion controller already contain supported three-color LEDs). Now... yes, there's work to be done for the 3-color LEDs. Currently, they are treated as three different LEDs. (Which makes some sense, you can use "battery charging" trigger for LED, and CPU activity trigger for green, for example). It would be good to have some kind of grouping, so that userspace can tell "these 3 leds are actually combined into one light". Second, we should define that LED brightness has similar gamma to the monitor, so that expected colors are displayed when user requests them. (And then.. I guess we should talk about more advanced stuff, like hardware that can drive the LED changes independently of the main CPU.)
