[ Upstream commit 730094577e0c37e1bc40be37cbd41f71b0a8a2a4 ]
The tty LED trigger uses the obsolete LED_ON & LED_OFF constants when
setting LED brightness. This is bad because the LED_ON constant is equal
to 1, and so when activating the tty LED trigger on a LED class device
with max_brightness greater than 1, the LED is dimmer than it can be
(when max_brightness is 255, the LED is very dimm indeed; some devices
translate 1/255 to 0, so the LED is OFF all the time).
Instead of directly setting brightness to a specific value, use the
led_blink_set_oneshot() function from LED core to configure the blink.
This function takes the current configured brightness as blink
brightness if not zero, and max brightness otherwise.
This also changes the behavior of the TTY LED trigger. Previously if
rx/tx stats kept changing, the LED was ON all the time they kept
changing. With this patch the LED will blink on TTY activity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
