sysfs-class-led
What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/brightness
Date:		March 2006
KernelVersion:	2.6.17
Contact:	Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
		Set the brightness of the LED. Most LEDs don't
		have hardware brightness support, so will just be turned on for
		non-zero brightness settings. The value is between 0 and
		/sys/class/leds/<led>/max_brightness.

		Writing 0 to this file clears active trigger.

		Writing non-zero to this file while trigger is active changes the
		top brightness trigger is going to use.

What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/max_brightness
Date:		March 2006
KernelVersion:	2.6.17
Contact:	Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
		Maximum brightness level for this LED, default is 255 (LED_FULL).

		If the LED does not support different brightness levels, this
		should be 1.

What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/brightness_hw_changed
Date:		January 2017
KernelVersion:	4.11
Description:
		Last hardware set brightness level for this LED. Some LEDs
		may be changed autonomously by hardware/firmware. Only LEDs
		where this happens and the driver can detect this, will have
		this file.

		This file supports poll() to detect when the hardware changes
		the brightness.

		Reading this file will return the last brightness level set
		by the hardware, this may be different from the current
		brightness. Reading this file when no hw brightness change
		event has happened will return an ENODATA error.

What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/trigger
Date:		March 2006
KernelVersion:	2.6.17
Contact:	Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
		Set the trigger for this LED. A trigger is a kernel based source
		of LED events.
		You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO
		scheduler is chosen. Trigger specific parameters can appear in
		/sys/class/leds/<led> once a given trigger is selected. For
		their documentation see sysfs-class-led-trigger-*.

What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/inverted
Date:		January 2011
KernelVersion:	2.6.38
Contact:	Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
		Invert the LED on/off state. This parameter is specific to
		gpio and backlight triggers. In case of the backlight trigger,
		it is useful when driving a LED which is intended to indicate
		a device in a standby like state.
