Dan,

Thank you for the v15.

Introduce a multicolor class that groups colored LEDs
within a LED node.

The multi color class groups monochrome LEDs and allows controlling two
aspects of the final combined color: hue and lightness. The former is
controlled via <color>_intensity files and the latter is controlled
via brightness file.

+====================================
+Multi Color LED handling under Linux
+====================================
+
+Description
+===========
+The multi color class groups monochrome LEDs and allows controlling two
+aspects of the final combined color: hue and lightness. The former is
+controlled via <color>_intensity files and the latter is controlled
+via brightness file.
+
+For more details on hue and lightness notions please refer to
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIECAM02.
+
+Note that intensity files only cache the written value and the actual
+change of hardware state occurs upon writing brightness file. This
+allows for changing many factors of the perceived color in a virtually
+unnoticeable way for the human observer.
+
+Multicolor Class Control
+========================
+The multicolor class presents the LED groups under a directory called "colors".
+This directory is a child under the LED parent node created by the led_class
+framework. The led_class framework is documented in led-class.rst within this
+documentation directory.
+
+Each colored LED will have two files created under the colors directory
+<color>_intensity and <color>_max_intensity. These files will contain
+one of LED_COLOR_ID_* definitions from the header
+include/dt-bindings/leds/common.h.
+
+Directory Layout Example
+========================
+root:/sys/class/leds/rgb:grouped_leds# ls -lR colors/
s/rgb/multicolor/ according to the led_colors[LED_COLOR_ID_MULTI].

Ack but this probably would not be multicolor either based on LED node naming conventions.

I still would prefer dynamically allocated array here. Also there are
things I would see differently in the patch 13/19 as already discussed.

Nonetheless I am giving my preliminary ack for this series just to
give a hint to others to join the review.

Replies were given on the 13/19 patch.
