The blink trigger and hw_pattern are software implementations for blink.

This is not the case on NUC leds, as:

1. It is the hardware/firmware that triggers the blink, not Linux;
2. It blinks even when Linux in suspend/hibernate mode.

In a matter of fact, the default usage of blink is to indicate that the
machine is suspended.

Thanks,
