Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] leds: is31f132xx: Add support for is31fl3206

From: Lee Jones

Date: Tue Oct 20 2026 - 07:06:54 EST


--- checkpatch.pl (1 issue) ---
Line 172: WARNING: DT compatible string "issi,is31fl3206" appears un-documented -- check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/

This true, or is it documented in this set?

New for() loops should initiate the variable.

I detest pointers to functions at the device driver level.

Please find another way to do this.

As above.
