From 1dd7093742517b4aa362d22eaff8eef133d876ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Kozlowski Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2019 15:44:45 +0100 Subject: dt-bindings: leds: Add pattern initialization from Device Tree Document new led-pattern property for initialization of LED triggers. The property format is trigger-specific (except being array of integers). For pattern trigger, the explanation of pattern format was moved to a common file shared with sysfs ABI.

It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness. The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and - duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and - each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of - 0 means brightness should immediately change to new value, and - writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one. + duration (ms). - 1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50 - milliseconds. So the tuple with duration less than dimming - interval (50ms) is treated as a step change of brightness, - i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without adding - intervening dimming intervals. - - The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be: - "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3 - duration_3 ...". For example: - - echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern - - It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255) - intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000 - milliseconds: - - LED brightness - ^ - 255-| / \ / \ / - | / \ / \ / - | / \ / \ / - | / \ / \ / - 0-| / \/ \/ - +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s) - - 2.
