For both rx/tx the core constrains the delay_on/off along with the inversion.
Instead of adding the led_trigger_rx/tx and led_trigger_rx/tx_name to the 
struct uart_port, wouldn't it be better to add a new struct led_trigger that
would encapsulate those along wit the on/off delay and the inversion?

That way those values could be communicated to the core at registration time
instead of hard-coding things.

Since this is a public interface, checking for valid led_trigger_tx/rx before
moving on with the rest of the initialisation is probably a good idea.

Thanks,
