I've prepared this patch based on the note here:

 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/leds/leds-class.html

  Future Development:
  
  At the moment, a trigger can’t be created specifically for a single LED. There
  are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a particular
  LED (ACPI?). The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should cover
  this option and be possible to add without breaking the current interface.

Does it look good?

I plan to use this interface in the axp20x driver I've sent previously,
if this patch is acceptable.

thank you and regards,
	o.

I'm not sure what the best descriptive name is here. ^
