[PATCH V2 1/2] dt-bindings: leds: document new led-triggers property

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some LEDs can be related to particular devices described in DT. This
property allows specifying such relations. E.g. USB LED should usually
be used to indicate some USB port(s) state.

V2: Replace "usb-ports" with "led-triggers" property which is more generic and
    allows specifying other devices as well.

When bindings patch is related to some followup implementation, they usually go
through the same tree.

Greg: this patch is based on top of e64b8cc72bf9 ("DT: leds: Improve examples by
adding some context") from kernel/git/j.anaszewski/linux-leds.git . Is there any
way to solve this dependency issue? Or should this patch wait until 3.11 is
released?
