 LED handling under Linux

 handled by the input subsystem and the led class is *not* needed.
 
 In its simplest form, the LED class just allows control of LEDs from

 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
