Re: [PATCH v4 3/3] dt-bindings: leds: Convert pwm to yaml

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

 



Hello Rob,

thanks for your feedback. I have some questions/remarks on this new yaml 
binding stuff before sending v5 (which will also replace patch 1/3 with a 
different approach btw).

Fine for me.

One child or multiple childs.  I found .dts files with one to four sub-nodes 
of the pwm-leds device in current master.

Should this look like in 'Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/
pwm-backlight.yaml' then?

Yes, one pwm channel per LED.

fwnode_property_read_u32() is used to read this.

Child node names follow no scheme at all currently as far as I could see, 
examples from real current .dts files:

  panel, led-red, blueled, kpad, front, green, pwm_blue, ds1, network_red, 
alarm-brightness, pmu_stat, overo, heartbeat, power, …
