I'd suggest splitting this patch in 2, one adding ledtrig-mtd code, and
another one make use of ledtrig_mtd_activity() and removing
nand-trigger code.

IMHO, we should also factorize ledtrig-ide and ledtrig-mtd code
(after all, you just copied the implementation from ledtrig-ide).
How about renaming the ledtrig-ide into ledtrig-storage and
ledtrig_ide_activity() into ledtrig_storage_activity()?

You can then add a trigger named "storage" in addition to the existing
"nand-disk" and "ide-disk" ones.

Anyway, this is just a suggestion, and I let leds maintainers decide
whether this is appropriate or not.

Best Regards,

Boris
