[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: leds: rt8515: Support single-GPIO flash ICs with unlock gate
From: Rudraksha Gupta via B4 Relay
Date: Fri Mar 06 2026 - 19:58:46 EST
From: Rudraksha Gupta <guptarud@xxxxxxxxx>
Some flash ICs use the same one-wire pulse-count protocol as the RT8515
but have only a single GPIO line for both flash and torch modes, plus an
optional unlock gate (e.g. a PMIC MPP) that must be driven high before
the chip responds to the enable GPIO.
Make ent-gpios optional and add an unlock-gpios property to support
these variants. Add a oneOf constraint requiring exactly one of
ent-gpios or unlock-gpios. Add a binding example showing the
single-GPIO configuration.
