+description: |
+ Certain Qualcomm PMICs integrate a haptics module, such as the HAP530_HV haptics
+ module in the PMIH0108 PMIC, which drives an LRA (Linear Resonant Actuator) with
+ an output voltage up to 10 V. Several play modes are supported in HAP530_HV:
+
+ DIRECT_PLAY: The hardware outputs sinusoidal waveforms whose period is
+ defined by lra-period-us and whose peak voltage is defined by vmax-microvolt.
+ The driving amplitude can be scaled in the range [0, 255] via a single
+ register byte. Hardware-based LRA auto-resonance tracking is enabled by
+ default in this mode, allowing the haptics engine to follow the actual
+ resonant frequency of the LRA and update the driving period accordingly
+ to achieve stronger vibration magnitude.
+
+ FIFO: The hardware can play an arbitrary waveform composed of a sequence
+ of 8-bit samples at a configurable play rate. Samples are pre-filled
+ into the internal FIFO memory of the haptics module and continuously
+ replenished via the FIFO-empty IRQ until all samples have been played.
+ An 8K-byte FIFO memory bank is available in the HAP530_HV haptics module,
+ shared between the FIFO and PAT_MEM play modes. The memory partition
+ between the two modes is configurable via registers, and FIFO mode always
+ uses the 1st partition starting from offset 0.
+
+ PAT_MEM: This mode is very similar to FIFO streaming mode but without the
+ data refilling capability. It is designed mainly for short, latency-critical
+ vibrations. The memory space for PAT_MEM mode must be reserved for dedicated
+ usage, and the waveform data should be preloaded and remain unchanged
+ thereafter. The haptics module can play the waveform data from the memory
+ region specified by the PAT_MEM play start address and length registers.
+
+ In either FIFO mode or PAT_MEM mode, the following play rates are supported:
+ -- 0(T_LRA): each FIFO byte drives one full sinusoidal cycle with the
+ period defined in lra-period-us.
+ -- 1/2/3(T_LRA_DIV_2/4/8): each FIFO byte drives a half/quarter/eighth
+ sinusoidal cycle with the period defined in lra-period-us.
+ -- 8/9/10/11/12/13(8KHz/16KHz/24KHz/32KHz/44.1KHz/48KHz): the FIFO
+ data is treated as PCM samples and drives the output with an
+ arbitrarily shaped waveform. This mode is typically used to define
+ custom driving waveforms for specific vibration effects such as fast
+ attack, crisp brake, etc.
+
+ The drive voltage in FIFO or PAT_MEM mode can exceed the value defined in
+ vmax-mv to achieve a special vibration effect, but the waveform must be
+ short enough to prevent the LRA from being damaged by operating at an
+ overvoltage.
+
+ Also, hardware-based LRA auto-resonance tracking is normally disabled in
+ FIFO or PAT_MEM mode, as these modes are intended to drive arbitrary
+ waveforms that may not follow the resonant frequency; autonomous hardware
+ resonance correction would interfere with the intended output.
