From 9f9455ae710786bd11625d501567f4f783fedea5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Janusz Krzysztofik Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:59:20 -0800 Subject: leds: add output inversion option to backlight trigger Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for inverting the trigger output polarity. With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad Delta videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was turned off, without touching it. The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO trigger driver.
