 Some LEDs can be programmed to blink without any CPU interaction. To
 support this feature, a LED driver can optionally implement the
-blink_set() function (see <linux/leds.h>). If implemented, triggers can
-attempt to use it before falling back to software timers. The blink_set()
-function should return 0 if the blink setting is supported, or -EINVAL
-otherwise, which means that LED blinking will be handled by software.
-
-The blink_set() function should choose a user friendly blinking
-value if it is called with *delay_on==0 && *delay_off==0 parameters. In
-this case the driver should give back the chosen value through delay_on
-and delay_off parameters to the leds subsystem.

+To turn off blinking again, use the API function led_brightness_set()

 Setting the brightness to zero with brightness_set() callback function
 should completely turn off the LED and cancel the previously programmed
