1) I think that most OpenWrt users, like me, are accustomed to see a led pattern of 200ms. I thought it was a bad flash or something else bad when
I've seen that 500ms blinking...

Is there any reason for that? Was 200ms ever used or documented by OpenWrt?

It has always been 200ms... The thing is that preinit_regular has been introduced some revisions ago.

Original:
Preinit, failsafe is possible: 200ms
Preinit, failsafe not possible anymore, booting normally: 200ms
Failsafe entered: 50ms

Now (after preinit_regular has been introduced):
Preinit, failsafe is possible: 200ms
Preinit, failsafe not possible anymore, booting normally: 500ms *here is the "offending" change*
Failsafe entered: 50ms

With my proposed patch:
Preinit, failsafe is possible: 100ms *indicate this condition with a new timing, that prompts the user to press the key if they want to start failsafe* Preinit, failsafe not possible anymore, booting normally: 200ms *keep this as before*
Failsafe entered: 50ms

2) "As before" means that when failsafe is possible, it is indicated by a
new pattern of 100ms. When it is not possible anymore, the
"classic"/previous 200ms pattern is used.

"As before" and "new pattern" seem to be in conflict ;)

As before is referred to 200ms for the normal boot after the 2-second "failsafe-is-possible" condition.

Same question (as above) about the 200ms. What makes it "classic" or "previous"?

See above.


500ms looks OK for me, just calm booting, not sure about other people
opinion. But I don't like using 50ms / 100ms / 200ms for 3 different
states because I find them too close/similar. Also if preinit was
always using 200ms (am I wrong? can you prove different interval?) I
don't think we should change it to 100ms.

Calm booting is not good, 200ms makes it look like it's booting, 500ms seems that there is a problem... IMHO at least ;) (Also please try the led patterns on the hardware, the numbers alone might mislead. I thought the same of you too before testing...)
