This adds the description of /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_unit.
It allows you to specify the delay unit for the led trigger timer.

an example.
The timer trigger will periodically change the LED brightness between
LED_OFF and the current brightness setting. The "on" and "off" time can
be specified via /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_{on,off} in milliseconds.
+If you want to specify the delay in microseconds or nanoseconds, you can
+write 'usec' or 'nsec' to /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_unit. That
+functionality is available only if you have high-resolution timers
+configured (check CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS in your kernel config).
You can change the brightness value of a LED independently of the timer
trigger. However, if you set the brightness value to LED_OFF it will
also disable the timer trigger.
