display-service -c [INFO] all digits and leds on /usr/sbin/display-service: 116: cannot create /sys/class/leds/display/message: Permission denied == could it be the the tm16xx module does not create "message", I have seen (Hqnicolas) succes, but guess the "message" got created compiling tm16xx and(!) patching with https://lwn.net/Articles/1027664/ . did not solve this (got errors). Maybe related to kernel version? : 6.12.58-current-rockchip64.

Always read everything ... (sorry) : make service-install (instead of make) will solve error and compile display-service (what I wanted)
