Some LED controllers have support for autonomously controlling
brightness over time, according to some preprogrammed pattern or
function.

This adds a new optional operator that LED class drivers can implement
if they support such functionality as well as a new device attribute to
configure the pattern for a given LED.


Hmm... I was hoping that this would be a generic pattern trigger that
could be used by any LED (e.g. gpio LEDs), not just LEDs with hardware
support. I guess I cannot really test this after all.

I think it looks good for your use case though.
