led: document sysfs interface
Also fix Documentation/led-class.txt, the acceptable range of values for brightness is 0-max_brightness, not 0-255. Cc: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: Corentin Chary <corentincj@iksaif.net> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

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.

In its simplest form, the LED class just allows control of LEDs from

userspace. LEDs appear in /sys/class/leds/. The brightness file will

set the brightness of the LED (taking a value 0-255). Most LEDs don't

userspace. LEDs appear in /sys/class/leds/. The maximum brightness of the

LED is defined in max_brightness file. The brightness file will set the brightness
