The auto string detection algorithm checks if the current WLED
sink configuration is valid. It tries enabling every sink and
checks if the OVP fault is observed. Based on this information
it detects and enables the valid sink configuration.
Auto calibration will be triggered when the OVP fault interrupts
are seen frequently thereby it tries to fix the sink configuration.

The auto-detection also kicks in when the connected LED string
of the display-backlight malfunctions (because of damage) and
requires the damaged string to be turned off to prevent the
complete panel and/or board from being damaged.

Comments should not say what is does (we can read that). It should be
saying what is weird about the hardware the results in us enabling the
interrupt in an unusual way.

More like:

"The hardware generates a storm of spurious OVP interrupts during soft
start operations so defer enabling the IRQ for 10ms to ensure that
the soft start is complete."

Note that I am only guessing that is an spurious interrupt storm that
caused you to defer the interrupt enable... I don't want to have to
guess which is why I am asking for a good quality comment!


Daniel.
Yes. Your guess is correct. The hardware document explains the same.
The WLED boost voltage can hit OVP limit in normal operating conditions such as
during the soft start timing.
Hence, waiting for the soft start to complete before enabling the OVP interrupt
to avoid the spurious interrupts.

I will update the comment as you suggested in the next series.
