True. But the RGB driver really should not be defining the color palette.
Maybe a "color capability" reported to user space so that the user space can make the decision.
It can report
For GPIO or constant current situations
static red
static blue
static green
For adjustable configurations it can report:
variable red
variable blue
variable green
or even simpler "static" or "dynamic" as a return to report the RGB configuration.
The LED driver would just need to set the variable.
