This is the way all LED triggers are documented, I just blindly
assumed it's OK. Could you be a bit more helpful and help me to
understand further steps? Should I drop
Documentation/leds/ledtrig-usbport.txt and add proper entry in
Documentation/ABI/testing? Or should I keep both files? What about
current sysfs of other triggers? Should they be moved/documented in
ABI?
