I want to present one alternative to Pavels requirements and the proposal by Vesa.

I have not written all the documentation around this as I expect this not to be taken as it is written
and I fully expect that the files or implementation will change.

It is an overly simplified RGB class definition that provides basic files to the user.
It exposes a common color file that takes in 3 decimal numbers from 0-255 in a "red green blue" format like in
Vesa's proposal.

It also exposes the 3 RGB files red, green and blue with decimal input from 0-255.

I have ported 2 working drivers to this class, while retaining backwards compatibility, and provided a dummy
test file that can be called that registers and the color writes and reads are basically no-ops.

The LP50xx driver and cpcap driver on the Droid 4 were converted.  When writing 255 to the red, green and blue
files to either device I was able to achieve the color white without any correction.
Writing "255 255 255" > color produced the same.

I am going to get the LP5523 device from TI and try to port that over as well so Pavel can use the N900 against the framework.
Finally I plan on porting these 3 devices to Vesa's proposal and I will modify the RGB class to Pavel's requirements.

This will give us 3 different implementations that can be tested against real hardware.

I am posting this as a RFC only and I have it available on the latest mainline kernel
on a public facing repo if you want to pull that instead.
