Merge tag 'leds_for_4.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/j.anaszewski/linux-leds
Pull LED updates from Jacek Anaszewski:
"New features and improvements:
- add new optional brightness_hw_changed attribute for the LEDs that
may have their brightness level changed autonomously (outside of
kernel control) by hardware / firmware. The attribute supports
userspace notifications through POLLPRI events
- add led_brightness_hw_mon tool that demonstrates how to use the
aforementioned feature
- add LED_ON enum for LEDs that can be only turned on/off, and don't
allow setting other brightness levels
- allow for adjusting heartbeat trigger blink brightness level
Fixes and cleanups:
- avoid harmless maybe-uninitialized warning in leds-ktd2692.c
- add context to the existing example entries in common LED bindings
to make the documentation more clear"
