[PATCH] leds: automatically request trigger module

[Uwe Kleine-KÃnig]

This allows:
	lala:/sys/class/leds/porta6# cat trigger
	[none] heartbeat
	lala:/sys/class/leds/porta6# echo timer > trigger
	lala:/sys/class/leds/porta6# cat trigger
	none heartbeat [timer]

Hello,

this change is convenient but I'm not sure if it adds policy to the
kernel.

What do you think about requesting ("ledtrig-%s", trigger_name)?  Maybe
better use something like ("ledtrigger:%s", trigger_name)?  This looks
better IMHO, but you would need to add module aliases to the trigger
modules.

Best regards
Uwe
