of the LED (taking a value 0-max_brightness). Most LEDs don't have hardware
brightness support so will just be turned on for non-zero brightness settings.
+Some LED devices support two modes - torch and flash. A LED subsystem device
+driver can declare this by calling led_classdev_init_flash function and
+initializing flash field of the led_classdev structure (see <linux/leds.h>).
+There are five sysfs attributes dedicated specifically to the flash LED devices:
+
+ - flash_mode - sets/unsets the flash mode
+ - flash_timeout - determines duration of the flash blink in milliseconds
+ - max_flash_timeout - maximum flash blink duration that can be set (RO)
+ - flash_fault - bitmask of flash faults that may have occured, possible
+ flags are:
+ * 0x01 - Flash controller voltage to the flash LED has exceeded
+ the limit specific to the flash controller.
+ * 0x02 - The flash strobe was still on when the timeout set by
+ the user has expired. Not all flash controllers may set
+ this in all such conditions.
+ * 0x04 - The flash controller has overheated.
+ * 0x08 - The short circuit protection of the flash controller
+ has been triggered.
+ * 0x10 - Current in the LED power supply has exceeded the limit
+ specific to the flash controller.
+ - hw_triggered - Some devices expose dedicated hardware pins for
+ triggering a flash LED. The attribute allows to set
+ this mode. After writting 1 the brightness has to be set
+ to the desired value to arm a led.

The class also introduces the optional concept of an LED trigger. A trigger
is a kernel based source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or
complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into
