Introduce the bindings for the Texas Instruments LP5024 and the LP5018
RGB LED device driver. The LP5024/18 can control RGB LEDs individually
or as part of a control bank group. These devices have the ability
to adjust the mixing control for the RGB LEDs to obtain different colors
independent of the overall brightness of the LED grouping.

+* Texas Instruments - LP5024/18 RGB LED driver
+
+The LM3692x is an ultra-compact, highly efficient,
+white-LED driver designed for LCD display backlighting.
+
+The main difference between the LP5024 and L5018 is the number of
+RGB LEDs they support. The LP5024 supports twenty four strings while the
+LP5018 supports eighteen strings.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible:
+ "ti,lp5018"
+ "ti,lp5024"
+ - reg : I2C slave address
+ - #address-cells : 1
+ - #size-cells : 0
+
+Optional properties:
+ - enable-gpios : gpio pin to enable/disable the device.
+ - vled-supply : LED supply
+
+Required child properties:
+ - reg : Is the child node iteration.
+ - led-sources : LP5024 - 0 - 7
+ LP5018 - 0 - 5
+ Declares the LED string or strings that the child node
+ will control. If ti,control-bank is set then this
+ property will contain multiple LED IDs.
+
+Optional child properties:
+ - label : see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt
+ - linux,default-trigger :
+ see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt
+ - ti,control-bank : Indicates that the LED strings declared in the
+ led-sources property are grouped within a control
+ bank for brightness and mixing control.
+
+Example:
+
+led-controller@28 {
+ compatible = "ti,lp5024";
+ reg = <0x28>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ enable-gpios = <&gpio1 28 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ vled-supply = <&vbatt>;
+
+ led@0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+ led-sources = <1>;
+ };
+
+ led@1 {
+ reg = <1>;
+ led-sources = <0 6>;
+ ti,control-bank;
Do you really need ti,control-bank? Doesn't led-sources array size
greater than 1 mean that the node describes control bank?
That will work too.
Also, does it make sense to have only two LEDs in the bank?
The array can populate all 7 LEDs in a single node. I only show 2 here as the example.
See the description above of the led-sources
OK, I confused RGB LED modules with banks.
Shouldn't we allow for defining either strings or RGB LED
triplets somehow then?
Well that is what this should be doing. If you define a single LED in LED sources then
the triplet is controlled via the associated LEDx_brightness register.
led-sources should map to iouts directly.
So, for RGB LED modules I would expect:
LED0: led-sources = <0 1 2>;
LED1: led-sources = <3 4 5>;
LED2: led-sources = <6 7 8>;
and so on.
for banks:
Bank A with iouts 0,3,6,9: led-sources<0 3 6 9>;
Bank B with iouts 2,4,10: led-sources<2 4 10>;
Bank C with iouts 5,8,11,14,17: led-sources<5 8 11 14 17>;
We could additionally mark banks with ti,control-bank,
but I'm not sure if it would ease parsing, since
you will have to validate iouts configuration anyway.
If you have multiple LED sources defined in the led-sources then those LEDs would be grouped in the bank.
I guess I need to provide some protection or a warning if a DT defines two banks because there is only one bank control.
Does the hardware allow the IOUT to belong to an RGB LED module
and to a bank in the same time?
