I think that this commit message should be rearranged, so that
the software pattern was mentioned in the first place. Please keep
in mind that LED triggers are defined as kernel based sources of
LED events in the first place.

hw_pattern interface should have separate description for each driver
supporting it. This is why we are to have a separate file for it.
So, here I'd just mention that each driver is expected to provide its
own ABI documentation for hw_pattern.

E.g. in case of sc27xx you should describe the specific semantics of
each tuple, which will refer to a breathing curve settings.

Why not just:

data->is_hw_pattern = hw_pattern;
