A prefix for the defines would be a good idea.

You can easily drop the pointer to the led device if you use the led device as
callback data for the timer and notifier callback. The led device has a pointer to
your trigger data.

Size can not be less then zero.

If trigger_data->net_dev is already you have to put it, otherwise you'll leak an
reference. And you should update trigger_data->net_dev even if the new device does
not exists.

You should also unset trigger_dat->net_dev and update the led status if the device
name is empty.

I suggest to rewrite it like this:
if (net_dev)
	dev_put(net_dev)
dev = NULL
if (*device_name)
	dev = dev_get_by_name(...)
if (dev != NULL)
	linkup = dev_get_flags ...
else
	linkup = false
net_dev = dev

You should already know the length. Maybe using len += sprintf(buf+len, "...") is a
better idea for appending the strings.

I don't think you need to take the lock here.

Maybe use an switch-case block here instead of gotos.

Since you are using kzalloc the fields are already initalized with '0', no need to do
it again.

You should check the return value of register_netdevice_notifier.

It is a good idea to stop the timer before putting the net dev. You won't have to
take the lock then nor need to assign NULL to net_dev.

module_{init,exit} should go right beneath the function they refer to.
