Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future. Change-Id: I87543d81c9df70d99c5001fbdf646b202c19f423 Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com>

+Flash LED handling under Linux
+==============================
+
+Some LED devices provide two modes - torch and flash. In the LED subsystem
+those modes are supported by LED class (see Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt)
+and LED Flash class respectively. The torch mode related features are enabled
+by default and the flash ones only if a driver declares it by setting
+LED_DEV_CAP_FLASH flag.
+
+In order to enable the support for flash LEDs CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_FLASH symbol
+must be defined in the kernel config. A LED Flash class driver must be
+registered in the LED subsystem with led_classdev_flash_register function.
+
+Following sysfs attributes are exposed for controlling flash LED devices:
+(see Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-flash)
+ - flash_brightness
+ - max_flash_brightness
+ - flash_timeout
+ - max_flash_timeout
+ - flash_strobe
+ - flash_fault
