| * Common leds properties. | |
| LED and flash LED devices provide the same basic functionality as current | |
| regulators, but extended with LED and flash LED specific features like | |
| blinking patterns, flash timeout, flash faults and external flash strobe mode. | |
| Many LED devices expose more than one current output that can be connected | |
| to one or more discrete LED component. Since the arrangement of connections | |
| can influence the way of the LED device initialization, the LED components | |
| have to be tightly coupled with the LED device binding. They are represented | |
| by child nodes of the parent LED device binding. | |
| Optional properties for child nodes: | |
| - led-sources : List of device current outputs the LED is connected to. The | |
| outputs are identified by the numbers that must be defined | |
| in the LED device binding documentation. | |
| - label : The label for this LED. If omitted, the label is taken from the node | |
| name (excluding the unit address). It has to uniquely identify | |
| a device, i.e. no other LED class device can be assigned the same | |
| label. | |
| - default-state : The initial state of the LED. Valid values are "on", "off", | |
| and "keep". If the LED is already on or off and the default-state property is | |
| set the to same value, then no glitch should be produced where the LED | |
| momentarily turns off (or on). The "keep" setting will keep the LED at | |
| whatever its current state is, without producing a glitch. The default is | |
| off if this property is not present. | |
| - linux,default-trigger : This parameter, if present, is a | |
| string defining the trigger assigned to the LED. Current triggers are: | |
| "backlight" - LED will act as a back-light, controlled by the framebuffer | |
| system | |
| "default-on" - LED will turn on (but for leds-gpio see "default-state" | |
| property in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/led.txt) | |
| "heartbeat" - LED "double" flashes at a load average based rate | |
| "disk-activity" - LED indicates disk activity | |
| "ide-disk" - LED indicates IDE disk activity (deprecated), | |
| in new implementations use "disk-activity" | |
| "timer" - LED flashes at a fixed, configurable rate | |
| - led-max-microamp : Maximum LED supply current in microamperes. This property | |
| can be made mandatory for the board configurations | |
| introducing a risk of hardware damage in case an excessive | |
| current is set. | |
| For flash LED controllers with configurable current this | |
| property is mandatory for the LEDs in the non-flash modes | |
| (e.g. torch or indicator). | |
| - panic-indicator : This property specifies that the LED should be used, | |
| if at all possible, as a panic indicator. | |
| - trigger-sources : List of devices which should be used as a source triggering | |
| this LED activity. Some LEDs can be related to a specific | |
| device and should somehow indicate its state. E.g. USB 2.0 | |
| LED may react to device(s) in a USB 2.0 port(s). | |
| Another common example is switch or router with multiple | |
| Ethernet ports each of them having its own LED assigned | |
| (assuming they are not hardwired). In such cases this | |
| property should contain phandle(s) of related source | |
| device(s). | |
| In many cases LED can be related to more than one device | |
| (e.g. one USB LED vs. multiple USB ports). Each source | |
| should be represented by a node in the device tree and be | |
| referenced by a phandle and a set of phandle arguments. A | |
| length of arguments should be specified by the | |
| #trigger-source-cells property in the source node. | |
| Required properties for flash LED child nodes: | |
| - flash-max-microamp : Maximum flash LED supply current in microamperes. | |
| - flash-max-timeout-us : Maximum timeout in microseconds after which the flash | |
| LED is turned off. | |
| For controllers that have no configurable current the flash-max-microamp | |
| property can be omitted. | |
| For controllers that have no configurable timeout the flash-max-timeout-us | |
| property can be omitted. | |
| * Trigger source providers | |
| Each trigger source should be represented by a device tree node. It may be e.g. | |
| a USB port or an Ethernet device. | |
| Required properties for trigger source: | |
| - #trigger-source-cells : Number of cells in a source trigger. Typically 0 for | |
| nodes of simple trigger sources (e.g. a specific USB | |
| port). | |
