Hi!

Introduce the device tree bindings for the lm3601x

+* Texas Instruments - lm3601x Single-LED Flash Driver

Ok, so is it single-LED driver, or can it driver ir & white LEDs at
the same time?

It is a single LED driver.  It can drive a Torch white LED or IR LED indefinitely or if the driver
is programmed to strobe mode the driver will drive the configured LED for the flash timeout specified.

Basically a flash and a flash light. IR or White LED.



+Example:
+led-controller@64 {
+	compatible = "ti,lm36010";
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+	reg = <0x64>;
+
+	led@0 {
+		reg = <0>;
+		label = "white:torch";
+		led-max-microamp = <10000>;
+	};
+
+	led@1 {
+		reg = <1>;
+		label = "white:flash";
+		flash-max-microamp = <10000>;
+		flash-max-timeout-us = <800>;
+	};

Is this realistic config? I'd expect flash to use more power than
torch, and would expect longer timeout than 0.8msec.

Timeout in the spreadsheet is ms I will update this example and code
Current in the spreadsheet is mA I will update this example and code


Also.. if this is physically one white LED, it should not be
spread over reg = <0> and reg = <1>...

If the torch LED and strobe LED are the same LED how do I expose them both to the user.
It is up to consumer to configure the required interfaces they want to expose to the filesystem.

LED flash class interface is prepared for it.
led_clasdev_flash_register() internally calls led_classdev_register(),
so there is brightness file available for torch related operations.

Maybe they don't want the strobe feature and just want LED on/off and switch between IR and White.

The IR is driven via a different output pin.

Correction.  There is only one LED drive pin.  The mode selected determines how the device will drive the
LED.  So you may have one device to drive a Torch and another device to drive the LED.

But only one type of LED can be soldered on the board at a time, right?
If yes, then this is clearly a DT related configuration, and only
one child DT node should be defined for given board.

Strobe is available in either case but not always required if strobe is not desired by the customer hence
why I have a separate DT node for it.
