  12 Description
  13 -----------
  14
  15 LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
  16 the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
  17 lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
  18
  19 All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
  20 More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.
  21
  22 LP5521 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
  23 There are two ways to run LED patterns.
  24
  25 1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode and enginex_load
  26    Control interface for the engines:
  27
  28    x is 1 .. 3
  29
  30    enginex_mode:
  31         disabled, load, run
  32    enginex_load:
  33         store program (visible only in engine load mode)
  34
  35   Example (start to blink the channel 2 led)::
  36
  37         cd   /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device
  38         echo "load" > engine3_mode
  39         echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load
  40         echo "run" > engine3_mode
  41
  42   To stop the engine::
  43
  44         echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
  45
  46 2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface
  47
  48 For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
  49
  50 sysfs contains a selftest entry.
  51
  52 The test communicates with the chip and checks that
  53 the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.
  54
  55 Each channel has its own led current settings.
  56
  57 - /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/led_current - RW
  58 - /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/max_current - RO
  59
  60 Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA
  61
  62 example platform data::
  63
  64   static struct lp55xx_led_config lp5521_led_config[] = {
  65           {
  66                 .name = "red",
  67                   .chan_nr        = 0,
  68                   .led_current    = 50,
  69                 .max_current    = 130,
  70           }, {
  71                 .name = "green",
  72                   .chan_nr        = 1,
  73                   .led_current    = 0,
  74                 .max_current    = 130,
  75           }, {
  76                 .name = "blue",
  77                   .chan_nr        = 2,
  78                   .led_current    = 0,
  79                 .max_current    = 130,
  80           }
  81   };
  82
  83   static int lp5521_setup(void)
  84   {
  85         /* setup HW resources */
  86   }
  87
  88   static void lp5521_release(void)
  89   {
  90         /* Release HW resources */
  91   }
  92
  93   static void lp5521_enable(bool state)
  94   {
  95         /* Control of chip enable signal */
  96   }
  97
  98   static struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5521_platform_data = {
  99           .led_config     = lp5521_led_config,
 100           .num_channels   = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5521_led_config),
 101           .clock_mode     = LP55XX_CLOCK_EXT,
 102           .setup_resources   = lp5521_setup,
 103           .release_resources = lp5521_release,
 104           .enable            = lp5521_enable,
 105   };
 106
 107 Note:
 108   chan_nr can have values between 0 and 2.
 109   The name of each channel can be configurable.
 110   If the name field is not defined, the default name will be set to 'xxxx:channelN'
 111   (XXXX : pdata->label or i2c client name, N : channel number)
 112
 113
 114 If the current is set to 0 in the platform data, that channel is
 115 disabled and it is not visible in the sysfs.
