Re: [PATCH v6 6/9] leds: multicolor: Introduce a multicolor class definition

[Jacek Anaszewski]

Hi Dan,

I think Greg's guidance clarified everything nicely -
we will avoid <color> sub-dirs in favour of prefixes
to *intensity and *max_intensity.

Before you will send an update I have some improvement
ideas regarding the remnants after the previous approach,
where single color intensity update resulted in updating
hardware state. Now the update will happen only on write to
brightness file, so we will not need color_set/color_get ops
anymore.

I don't think this is a good idea to update hw here now.
As I proposed before - let's do the write only in brightness set.
Otherwise any change of hue requiring alteration of more than one color
component will be non-atomic w.r.t. hw state change. Just cache the
intensity in the entry here.
