Hi Jacek,

Thank you very much for the quick response. Greatly appreciate that.

You're welcome.

Hi Vishwanatha,

Please refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-pca955x.txt.

At first glance I don't get why you have gpio-leds node, which is for
leds-gpio driver.

Not sure I understood it right.. But if you are asking me why I have "leds {"  and “gpio-leds” in there, then it is to get the entries in /sys/class/leds.
The GPIOs from PCA9552 are connected to LED. Also, that is how we have had in the past, and that worked.

Example: https://github.com/openbmc/linux/blob/dev-5.4/arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-witherspoon.dts#L115

Thanks. Yeah, that looks OK, I had to take closer look at the driver.

The problem I am running into is for : https://github.com/openbmc/linux/blob/dev-5.4/arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-ibm-rainier.dts

Hello,
I am Vishwanath, working with IBM and looking for your help on one of the issues that I am running into. Would really appreciate help on this. I run Linux 5.4.38
I have 2 number of PCA9552 chips, one on the Planar and other on the card that is optionally pluggable. The optional card must be plugged prior to booting and is not hot pluggable. In my experiment, I am running *without* the optional card plugged in.
In the device tree, I have a "leds {" section that looks like below for the PCA9552 that is on the planar and everything works fine and I can see /sys/class/leds/fan0
  leds {
         compatible = "gpio-leds”;
         fan0 {
             retain-state-shutdown;
             default-state = "keep";
             gpios = <&pca0 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
         };
};
&i2c7 {
     status = "okay”;
     pca0: pca9552@61 {
        compatible = "nxp,pca9552";
         reg = <0x61>;
         #address-cells = <1>;
         #size-cells = <0>;
         gpio-controller;
         #gpio-cells = <2>;
         gpio@0 {
             reg = <0>;
             type = <PCA955X_TYPE_GPIO>;
      	};
     };
};
Similarly, if I update the device tree entry for PCA9552 for the card that is optionally pluggable, then I don’t see any leds entries in /sys/class/leds.

Please share your DT node after the update.


Pasting the GPIO_0 entry only here for brevity.

leds {
         compatible = "gpio-leds”;

         fan0 {
             retain-state-shutdown;
             default-state = "keep";
             gpios = <&pca0 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
         };

         nvmeslot0 {
             retain-state-shutdown;
             default-state = "keep";
             gpios = <&pca1 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
         };
};

&i2c7 {
     status = "okay”;
     pca0: pca9552@61 {
        compatible = "nxp,pca9552";
         reg = <0x61>;
         #address-cells = <1>;
         #size-cells = <0>;
         gpio-controller;
         #gpio-cells = <2>;

         gpio@0 {
             reg = <0>;
             type = <PCA955X_TYPE_GPIO>;
      	};
     };
};

&i2c13
{
     pca1: pca9552@60 {
        compatible = "nxp,pca9552";
        reg = <0x60>;
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;

        gpio-controller;
        #gpio-cells = <2>;

        gpio@0 {
            reg = <0>;
            type = <PCA955X_TYPE_GPIO>;
        };
     };
};

Thanks

I don’t even see “fan0” that is on the PCA9552 on planar also. I was expecting that I should see “/sys/class/leds/fan0”.
However, I could see all the entries in “/proc/device-tree/leds”.
Data from the failure.
[    7.895757] leds-pca955x 7-0061: leds-pca955x: Using pca9552 16-bit LED driver at slave address 0x61
[    7.907659] leds-pca955x 7-0061: gpios 168...183

It is weird that you don't see "fan0" LED since this gpio seems to have
been properly registered according to this log.

[    7.913012] leds-pca955x 13-0060: leds-pca955x: Using pca9552 16-bit LED driver at slave address 0x60
[    7.923486] leds-pca955x 13-0060: pca955x_write_pwm: reg 0x0, val 0x80, err -6

This indicates the problem with finding pca955x device at address 0x60
on I2C bus connected to the I2C controller labelled as i2c13.

There are two options:
1) There is a problem with a physical connection with the chip on the
   card
2) You mismatched the I2C controller with the bus that controls the card
