[PATCH RFC 01/10] dt-bindings: backlight: add Kinetic KTD3136
From: YİĞİTCAN KAVAKLI via B4 Relay
Date: Fri Sep 11 2026 - 04:59:49 EST
From: YİĞİTCAN KAVAKLI <kavakliyigitcan@xxxxxxxxx>
Add devicetree binding documentation for the Kinetic Technologies
KTD3136 3-channel LED backlight driver using the official "kinetic"
vendor prefix.
The device is controlled over I2C and supports an optional hardware
enable GPIO line (enable-gpios), supply regulators, and standard
backlight brightness range properties.
