We have had for years out-of-tree patch for multi color gpio led driver
which extends this concept with multiple colors. Then in sysfs there has
been possibility to control the color and otherwise use blinking or
other features.
Our need is multi color status led of the device which includes
different kind of blinkings and colors on different situations.
Current in-tree gpio led driver just wasn't atomic enough and a bit
clumsy interface for handling this.
Now that this is being looked at could we come up with solution that we
could define multiple colors for one led in device tree and then we
could work on getting the driver upstreamed?
What we did was generally:
leds-multi {
compatible = "gpio-multi-leds";
status {
gpios = <...>;
linux,default-trigger = "none";
deafult-state = "keep";
color-red {
pin-mask = <0x01>;
};
color-green {
pin-mask = <0x02>;
};
color-orange {
pin-mask = <0x03>;
};
};
};
