commit ddfd8931c942a64c1ebdd7b93a4f18c84bd3b97b

    Multicolor is a bit too abstract. Yes, we can have
    Green-Magenta-Ultraviolet LED, but so far all the LEDs we support are
    RGB, and not even RGB-White or RGB-Yellow variants emerged.
    
    Multicolor is not a good fit for RGB LED. It does not really know
    about LED color.  In particular, there's no way to make LED "white".
    
    Userspace is interested in knowing "this LED can produce arbitrary
    color", which not all multicolor LEDs can.
