Yes, the PHY LED framework supports configuration from user space,
allowing users to configure their preferred policies according to their own requirements.
I believe this is the original intention of the LED framework.

However, we cannot require users to actively configure policies,
nor can we restrict the types of OS versions they use.
Therefore, I personally think that the driver should still provide a reasonable default policy
to ensure that the LED behavior meets the needs of most scenarios.


Thanks!
