Re: [PATCH v3 1/3] leds: triggers: Allow to switch the trigger to "panic" on a kernel panic

[Jacek Anaszewski <j.anaszewski@samsung.com>]

Hi Ezequiel,

Thanks for the update. It's indeed reasonable to have all the
switching infrastructure in ledtrig-panic.c.

I've noticed two minor issues below.

I understand that you referred here to the DT property name, but this
is not obvious at first glance, and it is an implementation detail.
