Sorry ...  I forgot to respond to this thread..

Yes.. It worked for me..

I have tested v9 with and without your code patchset.. In both cases its working
fine..

Sample test case :
	[root@tul176p1 leds]# cd U78C9.001.RST0027-P1-C14:identify
	
	[root@tul176p1 U78C9.001.RST0027-P1-C14:identify]# pwd
	/sys/class/leds/U78C9.001.RST0027-P1-C14:identify
	
	[root@tul176p1 U78C9.001.RST0027-P1-C14:identify]# cat brightness
	0
	
	[root@tul176p1 U78C9.001.RST0027-P1-C14:identify]# echo 1 > brightness
	[root@tul176p1 U78C9.001.RST0027-P1-C14:identify]# cat brightness
	255
