No, it's not sufficient. Let's say the RGB extension is disabled and we have a RGB trigger.
The check is a no-op now (returns always true), therefore the RGB trigger would be displayed
in the list of available triggers also for all non-RGB LED's.

We could maximum remove the "|| led_cdev->flags & LED_DEV_CAP_RGB" from the check if
the RGB extension is disabled. But it's open whether this minimal gain in a non-critical
code path justifies this.
