[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: leds: backlight: add Silergy SY7758
From: Alexandre Hamamdjian via B4 Relay
Date: Sun May 10 2026 - 13:08:56 EST
From: Alexandre Hamamdjian <azkali.limited@xxxxxxxxx>
The Silergy SY7758 is an I2C-controlled multi-channel LED backlight
driver typically used to drive the edge-lit LED strings of LCD panels
in handheld and embedded devices. Brightness is programmed as a 12-bit
linear value through two 8-bit registers.
Document the binding for the new compatible "silergy,sy7758" so it can
be referenced by board device trees and the matching driver, and add a
MAINTAINERS entry covering both the binding and the upcoming driver.
