[PATCH v2 1/1] dt-bindings: backlight: mp3309c: remove two required properties

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

 



The two properties:

- max-brightness
- default brightness

are not really required, so they can be removed from the "required"
section.
The "max-brightness" is no longer used in the current version
of the driver (it was used only in the first version).
The "default-brightness", if omitted in the DT, is managed by the
device driver, using a default value. This value depends on the dimming
mode used:

- for the "analog mode", via I2C commands, this value is fixed by
  hardware (=31)
- while in case of pwm mode the default used is the last value of the
  brightness-levels array.

Also the brightness-levels array is not required:

- in "analog mode", via I2C commands, the brightness-level array is
  fixed by hardware (0..31).;
- in pwm dimming mode, the driver uses a default array of 0..255 and
  the "default-brightness" is the last one, which is "255"

NOTE: there are no compatibility problems with the previous version,
      since the device driver has not yet been included in any kernel.
      Only this dt-binding yaml file is already included in the
      "for-backlight-next" branch of the "backlight" kernel repository.
      No developer may have used it.

Other changes:

- improve the backlight working mode description, in the "description"
  section
- update the example, removing the "max-brightness" and introducing the
  "brightess-levels" property
