Hi Ollivier
Sorry to not reply to the patches, but I am not subscribed to linux-leds
Regarding:
[PATCH 2/6] leds: pca963x: Lock i2c r/w access
I am not sure why this patch is needed. the only thing that should be
protected is the write to ledout.
It seems that mode2 needs to be set to PCA963X_MODE2_DMBLNK, or at
least, the driver never clears that bit. Couldnt we just set it at
probe time and remove the read/write of it? I do not have the hardware
at the moment, so it should be something that you need to test.
[PATCH 4/6] leds: pca963x: Reduce magic values
Maybe you want to create the inverse macro of PCA963X_LEDOUT_LDR, so
you can do something linke
PCA963X_LEDOUT_LDR_INV(ledout, pca963x->led_num) != PCA963X_LEDOUT_LED_GRP_PWM
[PATCH 3/6] leds: pca963x: Add defines and remove some magic values
I am not big fan of defining things that are not used. and the magic
assigment to n_leds is perfectly fine IMHO
For PCA963X_LEDOUT_LDR. Do not forget the parenthesis around led_num.
Also replace %4 with &3 to be consisten.t
Regards!
