+==================
+Leds BlinkM driver
+==================
+
+The leds-blinkm driver supports the devices of the BlinkM family.
+
+They are RGB-LED modules driven by a (AT)tiny microcontroller and
+communicate through I2C. The default address of these modules is
+0x09 but this can be changed through a command. By this you could
+dasy-chain up to 127 BlinkMs on an I2C bus.
+
+The device accepts RGB and HSB color values through separate commands.
+Also you can store blinking sequences as "scripts" in
+the controller and run them. Also fading is an option.
+
+The interface this driver provides is 2-fold:
+
+a) LED class interface for use with triggers
+############################################
+
+The registration follows the scheme::
+
+ blinkm-<i2c-bus-nr>-<i2c-device-nr>-<color>
+
+ $ ls -h /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-*
+ /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-blue:
+ brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent
+
+ /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-green:
+ brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent
+
+ /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-red:
+ brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent
+
+(same is /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/leds)
+
+We can control the colors separated into red, green and blue and
+assign triggers on each color.
+
+E.g.::
+
+ $ cat blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness
+ 05
+
+ $ echo 200 > blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness
+ $
+
+ $ modprobe ledtrig-heartbeat
+ $ echo heartbeat > blinkm-6-9-green/trigger
+ $
+
+
+b) Sysfs group to control rgb, fade, hsb, scripts ...
+#####################################################
+
+This extended interface is available as folder blinkm
+in the sysfs folder of the I2C device.
+E.g. below /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm
+
+ $ ls -h /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm/
+ blue green red test
+
+Currently supported is just setting red, green, blue
+and a test sequence.
+
+E.g.::
+
+ $ cat *
+ 00
+ 00
+ 00
+ #Write into test to start test sequence!#
+
+ $ echo 1 > test
+ $
+
+ $ echo 255 > red

+==============================
+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.rst)
+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
+
+
+V4L2 flash wrapper for flash LEDs
+=================================
+
+A LED subsystem driver can be controlled also from the level of VideoForLinux2
+subsystem. In order to enable this CONFIG_V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS symbol has to
+be defined in the kernel config.
+
+The driver must call the v4l2_flash_init function to get registered in the
+V4L2 subsystem. The function takes six arguments:
+
+- dev:
+ flash device, e.g. an I2C device
+- of_node:
+ of_node of the LED, may be NULL if the same as device's
+- fled_cdev:
+ LED flash class device to wrap
+- iled_cdev:
+ LED flash class device representing indicator LED associated with
+ fled_cdev, may be NULL
+- ops:
+ V4L2 specific ops
+
+ * external_strobe_set
+ defines the source of the flash LED strobe -
+ V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE control or external source, typically
+ a sensor, which makes it possible to synchronise the flash
+ strobe start with exposure start,
+ * intensity_to_led_brightness and led_brightness_to_intensity
+ perform
+ enum led_brightness <-> V4L2 intensity conversion in a device
+ specific manner - they can be used for devices with non-linear
+ LED current scale.
+- config:
+ configuration for V4L2 Flash sub-device
+
+ * dev_name
+ the name of the media entity, unique in the system,
+ * flash_faults
+ bitmask of flash faults that the LED flash class
+ device can report; corresponding LED_FAULT* bit definitions are
+ available in <linux/led-class-flash.h>,
+ * torch_intensity
+ constraints for the LED in TORCH mode
+ in microamperes,
+ * indicator_intensity
+ constraints for the indicator LED
+ in microamperes,
+ * has_external_strobe
+ determines whether the flash strobe source
+ can be switched to external,
+
+On remove the v4l2_flash_release function has to be called, which takes one
+argument - struct v4l2_flash pointer returned previously by v4l2_flash_init.
+This function can be safely called with NULL or error pointer argument.
+
+Please refer to drivers/leds/leds-max77693.c for an exemplary usage of the
+v4l2 flash wrapper.
+
+Once the V4L2 sub-device is registered by the driver which created the Media
+controller device, the sub-device node acts just as a node of a native V4L2
+flash API device would. The calls are simply routed to the LED flash API.
+
+Opening the V4L2 flash sub-device makes the LED subsystem sysfs interface
+unavailable. The interface is re-enabled after the V4L2 flash sub-device
+is closed.

+Multicolor LED handling under Linux
+====================================
+
+Description
+===========
+The multicolor class groups monochrome LEDs and allows controlling two
+aspects of the final combined color: hue and lightness. The former is
+controlled via the multi_intensity array file and the latter is controlled
+via brightness file.
+
+Multicolor Class Control
+========================
+The multicolor class presents files that groups the colors as indexes in an
+array. These files are children under the LED parent node created by the
+led_class framework. The led_class framework is documented in led-class.rst
+within this documentation directory.
+
+Each colored LED will be indexed under the multi_* files. The order of the
+colors will be arbitrary. The multi_index file can be read to determine the
+color name to indexed value.
+
+The multi_index file is an array that contains the string list of the colors as
+they are defined in each multi_* array file.
+
+The multi_intensity is an array that can be read or written to for the
+individual color intensities. All elements within this array must be written in
+order for the color LED intensities to be updated.
+
+Directory Layout Example
+========================
+root:/sys/class/leds/multicolor:status# ls -lR
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 19 16:16 brightness
+-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 19 16:16 max_brightness
+-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 19 16:16 multi_index
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 19 16:16 multi_intensity
+
+Multicolor Class Brightness Control
+===================================
+The brightness level for each LED is calculated based on the color LED
+intensity setting divided by the global max_brightness setting multiplied by
+the requested brightness.
+
+led_brightness = brightness * multi_intensity/max_brightness
+
+Example:
+A user first writes the multi_intensity file with the brightness levels
+for each LED that are necessary to achieve a certain color output from a
+multicolor LED group.
+
+cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/multi_index
+green blue red
+
+echo 43 226 138 > /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/multi_intensity
+
+red -
+ intensity = 138
+ max_brightness = 255
+green -
+ intensity = 43
+ max_brightness = 255
+blue -
+ intensity = 226
+ max_brightness = 255
+
+The user can control the brightness of that multicolor LED group by writing the
+global 'brightness' control. Assuming a max_brightness of 255 the user
+may want to dim the LED color group to half. The user would write a value of
+128 to the global brightness file then the values written to each LED will be
+adjusted base on this value.
+
+cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/max_brightness
+255
+echo 128 > /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/brightness
+
+adjusted_red_value = 128 * 138/255 = 69
+adjusted_green_value = 128 * 43/255 = 21
+adjusted_blue_value = 128 * 226/255 = 113
+
+Reading the global brightness file will return the current brightness value of
+the color LED group.
+
+cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/brightness
+128

+========================
+LED handling under Linux
+========================
+
+In its simplest form, the LED class just allows control of LEDs from
+userspace. LEDs appear in /sys/class/leds/. The maximum brightness of the
+LED is defined in max_brightness file. The brightness file will set the brightness
+of the LED (taking a value 0-max_brightness). Most LEDs don't have hardware
+brightness support so will just be turned on for non-zero brightness settings.
+
+The class also introduces the optional concept of an LED trigger. A trigger
+is a kernel based source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or
+complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into
+existing subsystems with minimal additional code. Examples are the disk-activity,
+nand-disk and sharpsl-charge triggers. With led triggers disabled, the code
+optimises away.
+
+Complex triggers while available to all LEDs have LED specific
+parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example.
+The timer trigger will periodically change the LED brightness between
+LED_OFF and the current brightness setting. The "on" and "off" time can
+be specified via /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_{on,off} in milliseconds.
+You can change the brightness value of a LED independently of the timer
+trigger. However, if you set the brightness value to LED_OFF it will
+also disable the timer trigger.
+
+You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler
+is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/<device>/trigger). Trigger specific
+parameters can appear in /sys/class/leds/<device> once a given trigger is
+selected.
+
+
+Design Philosophy
+=================
+
+The underlying design philosophy is simplicity. LEDs are simple devices
+and the aim is to keep a small amount of code giving as much functionality
+as possible. Please keep this in mind when suggesting enhancements.
+
+
+LED Device Naming
+=================
+
+Is currently of the form:
+
+ "devicename:color:function"
+
+- devicename:
+ it should refer to a unique identifier created by the kernel,
+ like e.g. phyN for network devices or inputN for input devices, rather
+ than to the hardware; the information related to the product and the bus
+ to which given device is hooked is available in sysfs and can be
+ retrieved using get_led_device_info.sh script from tools/leds; generally
+ this section is expected mostly for LEDs that are somehow associated with
+ other devices.
+
+- color:
+ one of LED_COLOR_ID_* definitions from the header
+ include/dt-bindings/leds/common.h.
+
+- function:
+ one of LED_FUNCTION_* definitions from the header
+ include/dt-bindings/leds/common.h.
+
+If required color or function is missing, please submit a patch
+to linux-leds@vger.kernel.org.
+
+It is possible that more than one LED with the same color and function will
+be required for given platform, differing only with an ordinal number.
+In this case it is preferable to just concatenate the predefined LED_FUNCTION_*
+name with required "-N" suffix in the driver. fwnode based drivers can use
+function-enumerator property for that and then the concatenation will be handled
+automatically by the LED core upon LED class device registration.
+
+LED subsystem has also a protection against name clash, that may occur
+when LED class device is created by a driver of hot-pluggable device and
+it doesn't provide unique devicename section. In this case numerical
+suffix (e.g. "_1", "_2", "_3" etc.) is added to the requested LED class
+device name.
+
+There might be still LED class drivers around using vendor or product name
+for devicename, but this approach is now deprecated as it doesn't convey
+any added value. Product information can be found in other places in sysfs
+(see tools/leds/get_led_device_info.sh).
+
+Examples of proper LED names:
+
+ - "red:disk"
+ - "white:flash"
+ - "red:indicator"
+ - "phy1:green:wlan"
+ - "phy3::wlan"
+ - ":kbd_backlight"
+ - "input5::kbd_backlight"
+ - "input3::numlock"
+ - "input3::scrolllock"
+ - "input3::capslock"
+ - "mmc1::status"
+ - "white:status"
+
+get_led_device_info.sh script can be used for verifying if the LED name
+meets the requirements pointed out here. It performs validation of the LED class
+devicename sections and gives hints on expected value for a section in case
+the validation fails for it. So far the script supports validation
+of associations between LEDs and following types of devices:
+
+ - input devices
+ - ieee80211 compliant USB devices
+
+The script is open to extensions.
+
+There have been calls for LED properties such as color to be exported as
+individual led class attributes. As a solution which doesn't incur as much
+overhead, I suggest these become part of the device name. The naming scheme
+above leaves scope for further attributes should they be needed. If sections
+of the name don't apply, just leave that section blank.
+
+
+Brightness setting API
+======================
+
+LED subsystem core exposes following API for setting brightness:
+
+ - led_set_brightness:
+ it is guaranteed not to sleep, passing LED_OFF stops
+ blinking,
+
+ - led_set_brightness_sync:
+ for use cases when immediate effect is desired -
+ it can block the caller for the time required for accessing
+ device registers and can sleep, passing LED_OFF stops hardware
+ blinking, returns -EBUSY if software blink fallback is enabled.
+
+
+LED registration API
+====================
+
+A driver wanting to register a LED classdev for use by other drivers /
+userspace needs to allocate and fill a led_classdev struct and then call
+`[devm_]led_classdev_register`. If the non devm version is used the driver
+must call led_classdev_unregister from its remove function before
+free-ing the led_classdev struct.
+
+If the driver can detect hardware initiated brightness changes and thus
+wants to have a brightness_hw_changed attribute then the LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED
+flag must be set in flags before registering. Calling
+led_classdev_notify_brightness_hw_changed on a classdev not registered with
+the LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED flag is a bug and will trigger a WARN_ON.
+
+Hardware accelerated blink of LEDs
+==================================
+
+Some LEDs can be programmed to blink without any CPU interaction. To
+support this feature, a LED driver can optionally implement the
+blink_set() function (see <linux/leds.h>). To set an LED to blinking,
+however, it is better to use the API function led_blink_set(), as it
+will check and implement software fallback if necessary.
+
+To turn off blinking, use the API function led_brightness_set()
+with brightness value LED_OFF, which should stop any software
+timers that may have been required for blinking.
+
+The blink_set() function should choose a user friendly blinking value
+if it is called with `*delay_on==0` && `*delay_off==0` parameters. In this
+case the driver should give back the chosen value through delay_on and
+delay_off parameters to the leds subsystem.
+
+Setting the brightness to zero with brightness_set() callback function
+should completely turn off the LED and cancel the previously programmed
+hardware blinking function, if any.
+
+
+Known Issues
+============
+
+The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions
+would cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue
+compared to the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The
+rest of the LED subsystem can be modular.
+
+
+Future Development
+==================
+
+At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED.
+There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a
+particular LED (ACPI?). The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver
+should cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the
+current interface.

+
+Description
+-----------
+There are 3 functions in LM3556, Flash, Torch and Indicator.
+
+Flash Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In Flash Mode, the LED current source(LED) provides 16 target current levels
+from 93.75 mA to 1500 mA.The Flash currents are adjusted via the CURRENT
+CONTROL REGISTER(0x09).Flash mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A),
+or by pulling the STROBE pin HIGH.
+
+LM3556 Flash can be controlled through sys/class/leds/flash/brightness file
+
+* if STROBE pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, and
+ ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin.
+
+Flash Example:
+
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+93.75 mA::
+
+ #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+...
+
+1500 mA::
+
+ #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+Torch Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In Torch Mode, the current source(LED) is programmed via the CURRENT CONTROL
+REGISTER(0x09).Torch Mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A) or by the
+hardware TORCH input.
+
+LM3556 torch can be controlled through sys/class/leds/torch/brightness file.
+* if TORCH pin is enabled, below example control brightness only,
+and ON / OFF will be controlled by TORCH pin.
+
+Torch Example:
+
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+46.88 mA::
+
+ #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+...
+
+375 mA::
+
+ #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+Indicator Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Indicator pattern can be set through sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern file,
+and 4 patterns are pre-defined in indicator_pattern array.
+
+According to N-lank, Pulse time and N Period values, different pattern wiill
+be generated.If you want new patterns for your own device, change
+indicator_pattern array with your own values and INDIC_PATTERN_SIZE.
+
+Please refer datasheet for more detail about N-Blank, Pulse time and N Period.
+
+Indicator pattern example:
+
+pattern 0::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+
+...
+
+pattern 3::
+
+ #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+
+Indicator brightness can be controlled through
+sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness file.
+
+Example:
+
+OFF::
+
+ #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+
+5.86 mA::
+
+ #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+
+...
+
+46.875mA::
+
+ #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+
+Notes
+-----
+Driver expects it is registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.
+To register the chip at address 0x63 on specific adapter, set the platform data
+according to include/linux/platform_data/leds-lm3556.h, set the i2c board info
+
+Example::
+
+ static struct i2c_board_info board_i2c_ch4[] __initdata = {
+ {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO(LM3556_NAME, 0x63),
+ .platform_data = &lm3556_pdata,
+ },
+ };
+
+and register it in the platform init function
+
+Example::
+
+ board_register_i2c_bus(4, 400,
+ board_i2c_ch4, ARRAY_SIZE(board_i2c_ch4));

+Kernel driver lp3944
+====================
+
+ * National Semiconductor LP3944 Fun-light Chip
+
+ Prefix: 'lp3944'
+
+ Addresses scanned: None (see the Notes section below)
+
+ Datasheet:
+
+ Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website
+ http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html
+
+Authors:
+ Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+The LP3944 is a helper chip that can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable
+DIM modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes it
+is used as a led controller.
+
+The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is
+specified supplying two parameters:
+
+ - period:
+ from 0s to 1.6s
+ - duty cycle:
+ percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100
+
+Setting a led in DIM0 or DIM1 mode makes it blink according to the pattern.
+See the datasheet for details.
+
+LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb
+leds, the camera flash light and the lcds power.
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+The chip is used mainly in embedded contexts, so this driver expects it is
+registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.
+
+To register the chip at address 0x60 on adapter 0, set the platform data
+according to include/linux/leds-lp3944.h, set the i2c board info::
+
+ static struct i2c_board_info a910_i2c_board_info[] __initdata = {
+ {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("lp3944", 0x60),
+ .platform_data = &a910_lp3944_leds,
+ },
+ };
+
+and register it in the platform init function::
+
+ i2c_register_board_info(0, a910_i2c_board_info,
+ ARRAY_SIZE(a910_i2c_board_info));

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
+the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
+lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
+
+All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
+More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.
+
+LP5521 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+There are two ways to run LED patterns.
+
+1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode and enginex_load
+ Control interface for the engines:
+
+ x is 1 .. 3
+
+ enginex_mode:
+ disabled, load, run
+ enginex_load:
+ store program (visible only in engine load mode)
+
+ Example (start to blink the channel 2 led)::
+
+ cd /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device
+ echo "load" > engine3_mode
+ echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load
+ echo "run" > engine3_mode
+
+ To stop the engine::
+
+ echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
+
+2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface
+
+For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+sysfs contains a selftest entry.
+
+The test communicates with the chip and checks that
+the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.
+
+Each channel has its own led current settings.
+
+- /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/led_current - RW
+- /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/max_current - RO
+
+Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA
+
+example platform data::
+
+ static struct lp55xx_led_config lp5521_led_config[] = {
+ {
+ .name = "red",
+ .chan_nr = 0,
+ .led_current = 50,

+
+Note:
+ chan_nr can have values between 0 and 2.
+ The name of each channel can be configurable.
+ If the name field is not defined, the default name will be set to 'xxxx:channelN'
+ (XXXX : pdata->label or i2c client name, N : channel number)
+
+

+
+Description
+-----------
+LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
+the led class control interface.
+The name of each channel is configurable in the platform data - name and label.
+There are three options to make the channel name.
+
+a) Define the 'name' in the platform data
+
+To make specific channel name, then use 'name' platform data.
+
+- /sys/class/leds/R1 (name: 'R1')
+- /sys/class/leds/B1 (name: 'B1')
+
+b) Use the 'label' with no 'name' field
+
+For one device name with channel number, then use 'label'.
+- /sys/class/leds/RGB:channelN (label: 'RGB', N: 0 ~ 8)
+
+c) Default
+
+If both fields are NULL, 'lp5523' is used by default.
+- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channelN (N: 0 ~ 8)
+
+LP5523 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+There are two ways to run LED patterns.
+
+1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode, enginex_load and enginex_leds
+
+ Control interface for the engines:
+
+ x is 1 .. 3
+
+ enginex_mode:
+ disabled, load, run
+ enginex_load:
+ microcode load
+ enginex_leds:
+ led mux control
+
+ ::
+
+ cd /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/device
+ echo "load" > engine3_mode
+ echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > engine3_load
+ echo "111111111" > engine3_leds
+ echo "run" > engine3_mode
+
+ To stop the engine::
+
+ echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
+
+2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface
+
+For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+LP5523 has three master faders. If a channel is mapped to one of
+the master faders, its output is dimmed based on the value of the master
+fader.
+
+For example::
+
+ echo "123000123" > master_fader_leds
+
+creates the following channel-fader mappings::
+
+ channel 0,6 to master_fader1
+ channel 1,7 to master_fader2
+ channel 2,8 to master_fader3
+
+Then, to have 25% of the original output on channel 0,6::
+
+ echo 64 > master_fader1
+
+To have 0% of the original output (i.e. no output) channel 1,7::
+
+ echo 0 > master_fader2
+
+To have 100% of the original output (i.e. no dimming) on channel 2,8::
+
+ echo 255 > master_fader3
+
+To clear all master fader controls::
+
+ echo "000000000" > master_fader_leds
+
+Selftest uses always the current from the platform data.
+
+Each channel contains led current settings.

+========================
+Kernel driver for lp5562
+========================
+
+* TI LP5562 LED Driver
+
+Author: Milo(Woogyom) Kim <milo.kim@ti.com>
+
+Description
+===========
+
+ LP5562 can drive up to 4 channels. R/G/B and White.
+ LEDs can be controlled directly via the led class control interface.
+
+ All four channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
+ LP5562 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+ For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+Device attribute
+================
+
+engine_mux
+ 3 Engines are allocated in LP5562, but the number of channel is 4.
+ Therefore each channel should be mapped to the engine number.
+
+ Value: RGB or W
+
+ This attribute is used for programming LED data with the firmware interface.
+ Unlike the LP5521/LP5523/55231, LP5562 has unique feature for the engine mux,
+ so additional sysfs is required
+
+ LED Map
+
+ ===== === ===============================
+ Red ... Engine 1 (fixed)
+ Green ... Engine 2 (fixed)
+ Blue ... Engine 3 (fixed)
+ White ... Engine 1 or 2 or 3 (selective)
+ ===== === ===============================
+
+How to load the program data using engine_mux
+=============================================
+
+ Before loading the LP5562 program data, engine_mux should be written between
+ the engine selection and loading the firmware.
+ Engine mux has two different mode, RGB and W.
+ RGB is used for loading RGB program data, W is used for W program data.
+
+ For example, run blinking green channel pattern::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine # 2 is for green channel
+ echo "RGB" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux # engine mux for RGB
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+ To run a blinking white pattern::
+
+ echo 1 or 2 or 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo "W" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+How to load the predefined patterns
+===================================
+
+ Please refer to 'leds-lp55xx.txt"
+
+Setting Current of Each Channel
+===============================
+
+ Like LP5521 and LP5523/55231, LP5562 provides LED current settings.
+ The 'led_current' and 'max_current' are used.
+
+Example of Platform data
+========================
+
+::
+
+ static struct lp55xx_led_config lp5562_led_config[] = {
+ {
+ .name = "R",
+ .chan_nr = 0,
+ .led_current = 20,
+ .max_current = 40,
+ },
+ {
+ .name = "G",
+ .chan_nr = 1,
+ .led_current = 20,
+ .max_current = 40,
+ },
+ {
+ .name = "B",
+ .chan_nr = 2,
+ .led_current = 20,
+ .max_current = 40,
+ },
+ {
+ .name = "W",
+ .chan_nr = 3,
+ .led_current = 20,
+ .max_current = 40,
+ },
+ };
+
+ static int lp5562_setup(void)
+ {
+ /* setup HW resources */
+ }
+
+ static void lp5562_release(void)
+ {
+ /* Release HW resources */
+ }
+
+ static void lp5562_enable(bool state)
+ {
+ /* Control of chip enable signal */
+ }
+
+ static struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5562_platform_data = {
+ .led_config = lp5562_led_config,
+ .num_channels = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5562_led_config),
+ .setup_resources = lp5562_setup,
+ .release_resources = lp5562_release,
+ .enable = lp5562_enable,
+ };
+
+To configure the platform specific data, lp55xx_platform_data structure is used
+
+
+If the current is set to 0 in the platform data, that channel is
+disabled and it is not visible in the sysfs.

+=================================================
+LP5521/LP5523/LP55231/LP5562/LP8501 Common Driver
+=================================================
+
+Authors: Milo(Woogyom) Kim <milo.kim@ti.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+LP5521, LP5523/55231, LP5562 and LP8501 have common features as below.
+
+ Register access via the I2C
+ Device initialization/deinitialization
+ Create LED class devices for multiple output channels
+ Device attributes for user-space interface
+ Program memory for running LED patterns
+
+The LP55xx common driver provides these features using exported functions.
+
+ lp55xx_init_device() / lp55xx_deinit_device()
+ lp55xx_register_leds() / lp55xx_unregister_leds()
+ lp55xx_regsister_sysfs() / lp55xx_unregister_sysfs()
+
+( Driver Structure Data )
+
+In lp55xx common driver, two different data structure is used.
+
+* lp55xx_led
+ control multi output LED channels such as led current, channel index.
+* lp55xx_chip
+ general chip control such like the I2C and platform data.
+
+For example, LP5521 has maximum 3 LED channels.
+LP5523/55231 has 9 output channels::
+
+ lp55xx_chip for LP5521 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ lp55xx_led #3
+
+ lp55xx_chip for LP5523 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ .
+ .
+ lp55xx_led #9
+
+( Chip Dependent Code )
+
+To support device specific configurations, special structure
+'lpxx_device_config' is used.
+
+ - Maximum number of channels
+ - Reset command, chip enable command
+ - Chip specific initialization
+ - Brightness control register access
+ - Setting LED output current
+ - Program memory address access for running patterns
+ - Additional device specific attributes
+
+( Firmware Interface )
+
+LP55xx family devices have the internal program memory for running
+various LED patterns.
+
+This pattern data is saved as a file in the user-land or
+hex byte string is written into the memory through the I2C.
+
+LP55xx common driver supports the firmware interface.
+
+LP55xx chips have three program engines.
+
+To load and run the pattern, the programming sequence is following.
+
+ (1) Select an engine number (1/2/3)
+ (2) Mode change to load
+ (3) Write pattern data into selected area
+ (4) Mode change to run
+
+The LP55xx common driver provides simple interfaces as below.
+
+select_engine:
+ Select which engine is used for running program
+run_engine:
+ Start program which is loaded via the firmware interface
+firmware:
+ Load program data
+
+In case of LP5523, one more command is required, 'enginex_leds'.
+It is used for selecting LED output(s) at each engine number.
+In more details, please refer to 'leds-lp5523.txt'.
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #1 of LP5521::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #3 of LP55231
+
+Two LEDs are configured as pattern output channels::
+
+ echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+ echo "9d0740ff7e0040007e00a0010000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+ echo "000001100" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine3_leds
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+To start blinking patterns in engine #2 and #3 simultaneously::
+
+ for idx in 2 3
+ do
+ echo $idx > /sys/class/leds/red/device/select_engine
+ sleep 0.1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ done
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/device/run_engine
+
+Here is another example for LP5523.
+
+Full LED strings are selected by 'engine2_leds'::
+
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+ echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+ echo "111111111" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine2_leds
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+As soon as 'loading' is set to 0, registered callback is called.
+Inside the callback, the selected engine is loaded and memory is updated.
+To run programmed pattern, 'run_engine' attribute should be enabled.
+
+The pattern sequence of LP8501 is similar to LP5523.
+
+However pattern data is specific.
+
+Ex 1) Engine 1 is used::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo "9d0140ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+

+
+( 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' )
+
+The sequence of running the program data is common.
+
+But each device has own specific register addresses for commands.
+
+To support this, 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' are configurable in each driver.
+
+run_engine:
+ Control the selected engine
+firmware_cb:
+ The callback function after loading the firmware is done.
+
+ Chip specific commands for loading and updating program memory.
+
+( Predefined pattern data )
+
+Without the firmware interface, LP55xx driver provides another method for
+loading a LED pattern. That is 'predefined' pattern.
+
+A predefined pattern is defined in the platform data and load it(or them)
+via the sysfs if needed.
+
+To use the predefined pattern concept, 'patterns' and 'num_patterns' should be
+configured.
+
+Example of predefined pattern data::
+
+ /* mode_1: blinking data */
+ static const u8 mode_1[] = {
+ 0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0xFF, 0x60, 0x00,
+ };
+
+ /* mode_2: always on */
+ static const u8 mode_2[] = { 0x40, 0xFF, };
+
+ struct lp55xx_predef_pattern board_led_patterns[] = {
+ {
+ .r = mode_1,
+ .size_r = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_1),
+ },
+ {
+ .b = mode_2,
+ .size_b = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_2),
+ },
+ }
+
+ struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5562_pdata = {
+ ...
+ .patterns = board_led_patterns,
+ .num_patterns = ARRAY_SIZE(board_led_patterns),
+ };
+
+Then, mode_1 and mode_2 can be run via through the sysfs::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # red blinking LED pattern
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # blue LED always on
+
+To stop running pattern::
+
+ echo 0 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern

+====================
+One-shot LED Trigger
+====================
+
+This is a LED trigger useful for signaling the user of an event where there are
+no clear trap points to put standard led-on and led-off settings. Using this
+trigger, the application needs only to signal the trigger when an event has
+happened, than the trigger turns the LED on and than keeps it off for a
+specified amount of time.
+
+This trigger is meant to be usable both for sporadic and dense events. In the
+first case, the trigger produces a clear single controlled blink for each
+event, while in the latter it keeps blinking at constant rate, as to signal
+that the events are arriving continuously.
+
+A one-shot LED only stays in a constant state when there are no events. An
+additional "invert" property specifies if the LED has to stay off (normal) or
+on (inverted) when not rearmed.
+
+The trigger can be activated from user space on led class devices as shown
+below::
+
+ echo oneshot > trigger
+
+This adds sysfs attributes to the LED that are documented in:
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-trigger-oneshot
+
+Example use-case: network devices, initialization::
+
+ echo oneshot > trigger # set trigger for this led
+ echo 33 > delay_on # blink at 1 / (33 + 33) Hz on continuous traffic
+ echo 33 > delay_off
+
+interface goes up::
+
+ echo 1 > invert # set led as normally-on, turn the led on
+
+packet received/transmitted::

+ echo 1 > shot # led starts blinking, ignored if already blinking
+
+interface goes down::

+=====================
+LED Transient Trigger
+=====================
+
+The leds timer trigger does not currently have an interface to activate
+a one shot timer. The current support allows for setting two timers, one for
+specifying how long a state to be on, and the second for how long the state
+to be off. The delay_on value specifies the time period an LED should stay
+in on state, followed by a delay_off value that specifies how long the LED
+should stay in off state. The on and off cycle repeats until the trigger
+gets deactivated. There is no provision for one time activation to implement
+features that require an on or off state to be held just once and then stay in
+the original state forever.
+
+Without one shot timer interface, user space can still use timer trigger to
+set a timer to hold a state, however when user space application crashes or
+goes away without deactivating the timer, the hardware will be left in that
+state permanently.
+
+Transient trigger addresses the need for one shot timer activation. The
+transient trigger can be enabled and disabled just like the other leds
+triggers.
+
+When an led class device driver registers itself, it can specify all leds
+triggers it supports and a default trigger. During registration, activation
+routine for the default trigger gets called. During registration of an led
+class device, the LED state does not change.
+
+When the driver unregisters, deactivation routine for the currently active
+trigger will be called, and LED state is changed to LED_OFF.
+
+Driver suspend changes the LED state to LED_OFF and resume doesn't change
+the state. Please note that there is no explicit interaction between the
+suspend and resume actions and the currently enabled trigger. LED state
+changes are suspended while the driver is in suspend state. Any timers
+that are active at the time driver gets suspended, continue to run, without
+being able to actually change the LED state. Once driver is resumed, triggers
+start functioning again.
+
+LED state changes are controlled using brightness which is a common led
+class device property. When brightness is set to 0 from user space via
+echo 0 > brightness, it will result in deactivating the current trigger.
+
+Transient trigger uses standard register and unregister interfaces. During
+trigger registration, for each led class device that specifies this trigger
+as its default trigger, trigger activation routine will get called. During
+registration, the LED state does not change, unless there is another trigger
+active, in which case LED state changes to LED_OFF.
+
+During trigger unregistration, LED state gets changed to LED_OFF.
+
+Transient trigger activation routine doesn't change the LED state. It
+creates its properties and does its initialization. Transient trigger
+deactivation routine, will cancel any timer that is active before it cleans
+up and removes the properties it created. It will restore the LED state to
+non-transient state. When driver gets suspended, irrespective of the transient
+state, the LED state changes to LED_OFF.
+
+Transient trigger can be enabled and disabled from user space on led class
+devices, that support this trigger as shown below::
+
+ echo transient > trigger
+ echo none > trigger
+
+NOTE:
+ Add a new property trigger state to control the state.
+
+This trigger exports three properties, activate, state, and duration. When
+transient trigger is activated these properties are set to default values.
+
+- duration allows setting timer value in msecs. The initial value is 0.
+- activate allows activating and deactivating the timer specified by
+ duration as needed. The initial and default value is 0. This will allow
+ duration to be set after trigger activation.
+- state allows user to specify a transient state to be held for the specified
+ duration.
+
+ activate
+ - one shot timer activate mechanism.
+ 1 when activated, 0 when deactivated.
+ default value is zero when transient trigger is enabled,
+ to allow duration to be set.
+
+ activate state indicates a timer with a value of specified
+ duration running.
+ deactivated state indicates that there is no active timer
+ running.
+
+ duration
+ - one shot timer value. When activate is set, duration value
+ is used to start a timer that runs once. This value doesn't
+ get changed by the trigger unless user does a set via
+ echo new_value > duration
+
+ state
+ - transient state to be held. It has two values 0 or 1. 0 maps
+ to LED_OFF and 1 maps to LED_FULL. The specified state is
+ held for the duration of the one shot timer and then the
+ state gets changed to the non-transient state which is the
+ inverse of transient state.
+ If state = LED_FULL, when the timer runs out the state will
+ go back to LED_OFF.
+ If state = LED_OFF, when the timer runs out the state will
+ go back to LED_FULL.
+ Please note that current LED state is not checked prior to
+ changing the state to the specified state.
+ Driver could map these values to inverted depending on the
+ default states it defines for the LED in its brightness_set()
+ interface which is called from the led brightness_set()
+ interfaces to control the LED state.
+
+When timer expires activate goes back to deactivated state, duration is left
+at the set value to be used when activate is set at a future time. This will
+allow user app to set the time once and activate it to run it once for the
+specified value as needed. When timer expires, state is restored to the
+non-transient state which is the inverse of the transient state:
+
+ ================= ===============================================
+ echo 1 > activate starts timer = duration when duration is not 0.
+ echo 0 > activate cancels currently running timer.
+ echo n > duration stores timer value to be used upon next
+ activate. Currently active timer if
+ any, continues to run for the specified time.
+ echo 0 > duration stores timer value to be used upon next
+ activate. Currently active timer if any,
+ continues to run for the specified time.
+ echo 1 > state stores desired transient state LED_FULL to be
+ held for the specified duration.
+ echo 0 > state stores desired transient state LED_OFF to be
+ held for the specified duration.
+ ================= ===============================================
+
+What is not supported
+=====================
+
+- Timer activation is one shot and extending and/or shortening the timer
+ is not supported.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+use-case 1::
+
+ echo transient > trigger
+ echo n > duration
+ echo 1 > state
+
+repeat the following step as needed::
+
+ echo 1 > activate - start timer = duration to run once
+ echo 1 > activate - start timer = duration to run once
+ echo none > trigger
+
+This trigger is intended to be used for the following example use cases:
+
+ - Use of LED by user space app as activity indicator.
+ - Use of LED by user space app as a kind of watchdog indicator -- as
+ long as the app is alive, it can keep the LED illuminated, if it dies
+ the LED will be extinguished automatically.
+ - Use by any user space app that needs a transient GPIO output.

+USB port LED trigger
+====================
+
+This LED trigger can be used for signalling to the user a presence of USB device
+in a given port. It simply turns on LED when device appears and turns it off
+when it disappears.
+
+It requires selecting USB ports that should be observed. All available ones are
+listed as separated entries in a "ports" subdirectory. Selecting is handled by
+echoing "1" to a chosen port.
+
+Please note that this trigger allows selecting multiple USB ports for a single
+LED.
+
+This can be useful in two cases:
+
+1) Device with single USB LED and few physical ports
+====================================================
+
+In such a case LED will be turned on as long as there is at least one connected
+USB device.
+
+2) Device with a physical port handled by few controllers
+=========================================================
+
+Some devices may have one controller per PHY standard. E.g. USB 3.0 physical
+port may be handled by ohci-platform, ehci-platform and xhci-hcd. If there is
+only one LED user will most likely want to assign ports from all 3 hubs.
+
+
+This trigger can be activated from user space on led class devices as shown
+below::
+
+ echo usbport > trigger
+
+This adds sysfs attributes to the LED that are documented in:
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-trigger-usbport

+Userspace LEDs
+==============
+
+The uleds driver supports userspace LEDs. This can be useful for testing
+triggers and can also be used to implement virtual LEDs.
+
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+When the driver is loaded, a character device is created at /dev/uleds. To
+create a new LED class device, open /dev/uleds and write a uleds_user_dev
+structure to it (found in kernel public header file linux/uleds.h)::
+
+ #define LED_MAX_NAME_SIZE 64
+
+ struct uleds_user_dev {
+ char name[LED_MAX_NAME_SIZE];
+ };
+
+A new LED class device will be created with the name given. The name can be
+any valid sysfs device node name, but consider using the LED class naming
+convention of "devicename:color:function".
+
+The current brightness is found by reading a single byte from the character
+device. Values are unsigned: 0 to 255. Reading will block until the brightness
+changes. The device node can also be polled to notify when the brightness value
+changes.
+
+The LED class device will be removed when the open file handle to /dev/uleds
+is closed.
+
+Multiple LED class devices are created by opening additional file handles to
+/dev/uleds.
+
+See tools/leds/uledmon.c for an example userspace program.
