(...)
+       if (blk_ledtrig_find(name, len) != NULL) {
+               pr_warn("blockdev LED trigger named %.*s already exists\n",
+                       (int)len, name);

Is pr_warn() the right level for this stuff? I'd think this sort of pilot error 
should
be pr_info() or even pr_debug(), if mentioned at all.  pr_warn() would be for
something like an unexpected situation like trying to blink an LED but failing.
Simple syntax errors should probably just toss a -EINVAL and return.

(Among other things, this allows a userspace script to spam the
log by simply repeatedly trying to create the same entry)
