Re: [PATCH v14 1/2] leds: core: Introduce LED pattern trigger

From: Jacek Anaszewski

Hi Baolin,

Thank you for the v14. We'll probably need v15, though :-)

I added the comments in the code below.

I'd like to avoid this constraint. Lowest supported delta_t should be 1.

We should only prevent entering dimming mode if current delta_t
is lower than UPDATE_INTERVAL.

I also propose to make the dimming interval configurable via sysfs
dimming_interval file.

This whitespace between semicolons looks odd. Please remove it.

Why two "break" statements instead of one here?
