Subject: [PATCH 02/13] leds: add API to get attached device for LED hw control
Some specific LED triggers blink the LED based on events from a device
or subsystem.
For example, an LED could be blinked to indicate a network device is
receiving packets, or a disk is reading blocks. To correctly enable and
request the hw control of the LED, the trigger has to check if the
network interface or block device configured via a /sys/class/led file
match the one the LED driver provide for hw control for.
Provide an API call to get the device which the LED blinks for.
