Commitb655892ffd("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.

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.
