Yes, if: - It is solved in a generic way so that there is a call like gpiod_get_nonexclusive() or similar to get a second handle on a GPIOd someone else is already using. - It is cross-coordinated with the regulator people who have exactly the same problem for fixed GPIO regulators and which is why that code looks like hell. Apart from that, we generally need a way to access LEDs as resources with foo-leds = <&led_foo>; in the device tree just like we can get GPIOs and I hope someone is working on that for this thing... triggers is such a hack.
