From 5fd752b6b3a2233972ce1726df8bdb40886113a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baolin Wang Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2018 12:07:14 +0800 Subject: leds: core: Introduce LED pattern trigger This patch adds a new LED trigger that LED device can configure to employ software or hardware pattern engine. Consumers can write 'pattern' file to enable the software pattern which alters the brightness for the specified duration with one software timer. Moreover consumers can write 'hw_pattern' file to enable the hardware pattern for some LED controllers which can autonomously control brightness over time, according to some preprogrammed hardware patterns.
