Mauro Carvalho Chehab 1ca5d41c37 docs: ABI: sysfs-class-led-trigger-pattern: remove repeat duplication
As reported by scripts/get_abi.pl:

	Warning: /sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat is defined 2 times:  Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-driver-el15203000:0  Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-trigger-pattern:28

The definition for the EL15203000 is just a special case of
the sysfs led class. So, drop it and mentions the possible
exception at the class definition.

What: /sys/class/leds//pattern Date: September 2018 KernelVersion: 4.20 Description: Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering the brightness for the specified duration with one software timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.

	The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
	duration (ms).

	The exact format is described in:
	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-trigger-pattern.txt

What: /sys/class/leds//hw_pattern Date: September 2018 KernelVersion: 4.20 Description: Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active software pattern.

	Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
	hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
	description for the hardware patterns in their documentation
	file at Documentation/leds/.

What: /sys/class/leds//repeat Date: September 2018 KernelVersion: 4.20 Description: Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely, other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.

	This file will always return the originally written repeat
	number.

	It should be noticed that some leds, like EL15203000 may
	only support indefinitely patterns, so they always store -1.
