[PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: leds: document new "power-supply" property

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

 



Most of the LEDs are powered by a voltage/current regulator. describing in
the device-tree makes it possible for the LED core to enable/disable it
when needed.
