Marek Behún 44f0fb8dfe leds: trigger: netdev: rename 'hw_control' sysfs entry to 'offloaded'
Commit b655892ffd ("leds: trigger: netdev: expose hw_control status
via sysfs") exposed to sysfs the flag that tells whether the LED trigger
is offloaded to hardware, under the name "hw_control", since that is the
name under which this setting is called in the code.

Everywhere else in kernel when some work that is normally done in
software can be made to be done by hardware instead, we use the word
"offloading" to describe this, e.g. "LED blinking is offloaded to
hardware".

Normally renaming sysfs entries is a no-go because of backwards
compatibility. But since this patch was not yet released in a stable
kernel, I think it is still possible to rename it, if there is
consensus.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
