[PATCH v14 1/2] leds: core: Introduce LED pattern trigger

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Tue Oct 02 2018 - 11:44:08 EST


This patch adds one new led trigger that LED device can configure
the software or hardware pattern and trigger it.

Consumers can write 'pattern' file to enable the software pattern
which alters the brightness for the specified duration with one
software timer.

Moreover consumers can write 'hw_pattern' file to enable the hardware
pattern for some LED controllers which can autonomously control
brightness over time, according to some preprogrammed hardware
patterns.

Changes from v13:
- Add duration validation for gradual dimming.
- Coding style optimization.

Changes from v12:
- Add gradual dimming support for software pattern.

Changes from v11:
- Change -1 means repeat indefinitely.

Changes from v10:
- Change 'int' to 'u32' for delta_t field.

Changes from v9:
- None.

Changes from v8:
- None.

Changes from v7:
- Move the SC27XX hardware patterns description into its own ABI file.

Changes from v6:
- Improve commit message.
- Optimize the description of the hw_pattern file.
- Simplify some logics.

Changes from v5:
- Add one 'hw_pattern' file for hardware patterns.

Changes from v4:
- Change the repeat file to return the originally written number.
- Improve comments.
- Fix some build warnings.

Changes from v3:
- Reset pattern number to 0 if user provides incorrect pattern string.
- Support one pattern.

Changes from v2:
- Remove hardware_pattern boolen.
- Chnage the pattern string format.

Changes from v1:
- Use ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() to define attributes.
- Introduce hardware_pattern flag to determine if software pattern
or hardware pattern.
- Re-implement pattern_trig_store_pattern() function.
- Remove pattern_get() interface.
- Improve comments.
- Other small optimization.

+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+ the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+ timer. It can do gradual dimming and constant brightness.
+
+ The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
+ duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and
+ each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
+ 0 means brightness should immediately change to new value.
+
+ 1. When doing gradual dimming, the led brightness will be updated
+ every 50 milliseconds, so the duration of each step should not
+ less than 50 milliseconds. The gradual dimming format of the
+ software pattern values should be:
+ "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3
+ duration_3 ...". For example:
+
+ echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
+
+ It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255)
+ intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000
+ milliseconds:
+
+ LED brightness
+ ^
+ 255-| / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ 0-| / \/ \/
+ +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+ 2. To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+ we should use use zero-time lengths. So the format should be:
+ "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_1 0 brightness_2 duration_2
+ brightness_2 0 ...". For example:
+
+ echo 0 1000 0 0 255 2000 255 0 > pattern
+
+ It will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
+ for two seconds:
+
+ LED brightness
+ ^
+ 255-| +---------+ +---------+
+ | | | | |
+ | | | | |
+ | | | | |
+ 0-| -----+ +----+ +----
+ +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
+ supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
+ to some preprogrammed hardware patterns.
+
+ Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
+ hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
+ description for the hardware patterns in their ABI documentation
+ file.
+
+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely,
+ other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.
+
+ This file will always return the originally written repeat
+ number.
