Correct, I've received feedback, but no positive reviews.

The current leds-blinkm.rst documentation file uses `ls -h` in several
other places, so I continued the pattern. But it does seem superfluous.
Would it be better to remove the `-h` only from the line I added, or the
other instances as well?

I used :: here because I thought a shell command should be shown as
code in the documentation.

Documentation/leds/leds-class-multicolor.rst describes the
multi_intensity file as controlling the hue of the LED, whereas the
brightness file controls the lightness. I could change my documentation
to say "The overall lightness of the color that you choose..." to
clarify that.

Yes, I think that would be applicable. led_cdev and mcled_cdev are used
in two seperate cases.
