Subject: [PATCH] lm3697: Rename struct into more appropiate name

Subject says it all. This rename was briefly discussed in this other patch: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-leds/msg16865.html (I don't know another way to link to emails, so I'll just use this archive).

Feel free to suggest another name for the commit; that was just the better name I could come up with :/ .

Gabriel,

the subject of the patch should be
leds: lm3697: Rename struct into more appropiate name
("leds: " is prefixed). Look at history
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/leds?h=v5.9-rc8

The commit message should mention why you are renaming the type
(something like "to be semantically more correct, since that structure
represents LED control bank as described by the datasheet").

Also it seems that you are using git format-patch for generating patch
files, but you are sending these patches as regular e-mail attachements.
You should instead use git send-email, as is normally required
for kernel patches (and they would also appear in patchwork
(https://patches.linaro.org/project/linux-leds/list/). Please look at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html
and https://git-send-email.io/.

The reason I didn't use git send-mail earlier is because Tutanota doesn't supports SMTP and Protonmail requires a paid account for using SMTP/IMAP. However, I made an account creation request for Disroot(which does support SMTP for free), so when/if the account gets created I'll send future patches through there.

Also please note top posting on emails is not preferred. As you will
find in the LED domain bottom posts and trimming emails to what is being
commented on is preferred.

As demonstrated.
