Hello Greg,
Thanks for the suggestions!
Yes, it will be better to implement the communication from the userspace.
However, I was curious if the kernel implements some generic LED HID interface already,
without the need to write custom code. Similarly, as it's done for example for the HID multitouch,
where the device only needs to report the correct report descriptor.
Best regards,
Kirill Yatsenko

Why not do this from userspace using libusb or the generic hid userspace
api? Why do you need a kernel driver?
