Hi!

Help text says:

CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_ACTIVITY:

This allows LEDs to be controlled by a immediate CPU usage. The flash frequency and duty cycle varies from faint flashes to intense brightness depending on the instant CPU load. If unsure, say Y.

I don't believe this is important enough trigger that we should suggest it by default. So I believe this should be changed to "say N".

Thanks,
Pavel

Thanks for the heads-up.
Fixed the related commit on the for-next branch of linux-leds.git.
