OK, I understand your concern. I will fix the issue without
introducing another pattern number. So I will not use a comma to
separate the patterns and change the pattern format as:
brightness1 time1 brightness2 time2 brightness3 time3 brightness4 time4 ...

Then we will easy to check out errors if user gives one incorrect
pattern string.

Hmm, I am not sure I catch your points. If we remove the
hardware_pattern boolean, we still need to add check before
'del_timer_sync(&data->timer)' (In hardware pattern mode, we do not
need to delete the timer), also we still need to add check before
issuing pattern_set()/pattern_clear().

So I think introducing one boolean will make code easy to understand
what pattern mode (software pattern or hardware pattern) is using.
Thanks.
