10Specify a hardware pattern for the Whiskey Cove PMIC LEDs.
11
12The only supported pattern is hardware breathing mode::
13
14    "0 2000 1 2000"

23    Min-|-           ---
24	|
25	0------2------4--> time (sec)
26
27The rise and fall times must be the same value.
28Supported values are 2000, 1000, 500 and 250 for
29breathing frequencies of 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 Hz.
30
31The set pattern only controls the timing. For max brightness the last
32set brightness is used and the max brightness can be changed
33while breathing by writing the brightness attribute.
34
35This is just like how blinking works in the LED subsystem,
36for both sw and hw blinking the brightness can also be changed
37while blinking. Breathing on this hw really is just a variant
38mode of blinking.
