This is is the third version of the patch series being a follow up
of the discussion on Media summit 2013-10-23, related to the
LED / flash API integration (the notes from the discussion were
enclosed in the message [1], paragraph 5).
The series is based on linux-next next-20140328
Description of the proposed modifications according to
the kernel components they are relevant to:
- LED subsystem modifications
* added led_flash module which, when enabled in the config,
registers flash specific sysfs attributes:
- flash_brightness
- max_flash_brightness
- indicator_brightness
- max_indicator_brightness
- flash_timeout
- max_flash_timeout
- flash_strobe
- flash_fault
- external_strobe
and exposes kernel internal API
- led_set_flash_strobe
- led_get_flash_strobe
- led_set_indicator_brightness
- led_update_indicator_brightness
- led_set_flash_timeout
- led_get_flash_fault
- led_set_external_strobe
- led_sysfs_lock
- led_sysfs_unlock
- Addition of a V4L2 Flash sub-device registration helpers
* added v4l2-flash.c and v4l2-flash.h files with helper
functions that facilitate registration/unregistration
of a subdevice, which wrapps a LED subsystem device and
exposes V4L2 Flash control interface
- Addition of a driver for the flash cell of the MAX77693 mfd
* the driver exploits the newly introduced mechanism
- Update of the max77693.txt DT bindings documentation
================
Changes since v2
================
- refactored the code so that it is possible to build
led-core without led-flash module
- added v4l2-flash ops which slackens dependency from
the led-flash module
- implemented led_clamp_align_val function and led_ctrl
structure which allows to align led control values
in the manner compatible with V4L2 Flash controls;
the flash brightness and timeout units have been defined
as microamperes and microseconds respectively to properly
support devices which define current and time levels
as fractions of 1/1000.
- added support for the flash privacy leds
- modified LED sysfs locking mechanism - now it locks/unlocks
the interface on V4L2 Flash sub-device file open/close
- changed hw_triggered attribute name to external_strobe,
which maps on the V4L2_FLASH_STROBE_SOURCE_EXTERNAL name
more intuitively
- made external_strobe and indicator related sysfs attributes
created optionally only if related features are declared
by the led device driver
- removed from the series patches modifying exynos4-is media
controller - a proposal for "flash manager" which will take
care of flash devices registration is due to be submitted
- removed modifications to the LED class devices documentation,
it will be covered after the whole functionality is accepted
Thanks,
Jacek Anaszewski
