From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fcf2a9970ef587d8f358560c381ee6115a9108aa upstream.
Commit 66601a29bb23 ("leds: class: If no default trigger is given, make
hw_control trigger the default trigger") causes ledtrig-netdev to get
set as default trigger on various network LEDs.
This causes users to hit a pre-existing AB-BA deadlock issue in
ledtrig-netdev between the LED-trigger locks and the rtnl mutex,
resulting in hung tasks in kernels >= 6.9.
Solving the deadlock is non trivial, so for now revert the change to
set the hw_control trigger as default trigger, so that ledtrig-netdev
no longer gets activated automatically for various network LEDs.
The netdev trigger is not needed because the network LEDs are usually under
hw-control and the netdev trigger tries to leave things that way so setting
it as the active trigger for the LED class device is a no-op.
Fixes: 66601a29bb23 ("leds: class: If no default trigger is given, make hw_control trigger the default trigger")
