Re: [RESEND PATCH v3 4/4] leds: Add a multicolor LED driver to group monochromatic LEDs

From: Jacek Anaszewski

Hi Jean,

General question to this driver: since it seems that it is allowed to
have duplicate LEDs of the same color, then it will be impossible to
distinguish which of the two same colors in multi_index file will refer
to which physical LED. Are you aware of this shortcoming?

Besides that I have two remarks below.

By allowing to group multiple monochrome LED into multicolor LEDs,
all involved LEDs can be controlled in-sync. This enables using effects
using triggers, etc.

How about dropping above usage of led_mc_calc_color_components()
helper in favour of doing all required calculations here?
It would be easier for the reader to grasp the idea then.
