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 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 Signed-off-by: Flavio Suligoi <f.suligoi@xxxxxxx> --- .../bindings/leds/backlight/mps,mp3309c.yaml | 10 ++++------ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/mps,mp3309c.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/mps,mp3309c.yaml index 4191e33626f5..527a37368ed7 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/mps,mp3309c.yaml +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/mps,mp3309c.yaml @@ -14,8 +14,8 @@ description: | programmable switching frequency to optimize efficiency.
