What concerns? Marek's concerns seem to be about case where we register
a trigger for (each led * self-working configuration) which I admit
can be quite a lot of triggers if there are many functions. But that's
not my proposal.

My proposal is to only register on trigger per LED at most. So on my
system that's 1 extra trigger and on Marek's system that'd be 48 new
triggers. Neither seems like a meaningful problem from resource
use perspective.

regards,
	o.
