Right, I noticed that pattern, but wondered about it. If this is
supposed to be a general thing, why isn't it just done by the trigger
core after the call of led_trigger_set() in the two places the bit gets
set? I.e.

led_cdev->flags |= LED_INIT_DEFAULT_TRIGGER;
led_trigger_set(led_cdev, trig);
+ led_cdev->flags &= ~LED_INIT_DEFAULT_TRIGGER;

I can certainly add clearing the flag to my code, just wondering.
