I remember there was the same discussion in a previous series. OK for me
for making this by default, only concern is any buildbot error (if any)
Anyway OK for the change.

It was pushed by you in v13.
I could be wrong but your idea was to prepare for future support of
other patch that would set the default_trigger to the mac80211 tpt.
We might got both confused by default_trigger and default_state.
default_trigger is actually never set and is NULL (actually it's 0)
We have other 2 patch that adds tpt rates for the mac80211 LED trigger
and set this trigger as the default one but honestly I would chose a
different implementation than hardcoding everything.
If it's ok for you, I would drop the comment and the default_trigger and
I will send a follow-up patch to this adding DT support by using
led_classdev_register_ext and defining init_data.
(and this indirectly would permit better LED naming and defining of
default-trigger in DT)
Also ideally I will also send a patch for default_state following
standard LED implementation. (to set default_state in DT)
I would prefer this approach as the LED patch already took way too much
time and I think it's better to merge this initial version and then
improve it.
