DT: leds: Add led-sources property
[deliverable/linux.git] / Documentation / devicetree / bindings / leds / common.txt
1 Common leds properties.
2
3 LED and flash LED devices provide the same basic functionality as current
4 regulators, but extended with LED and flash LED specific features like
5 blinking patterns, flash timeout, flash faults and external flash strobe mode.
6
7 Many LED devices expose more than one current output that can be connected
8 to one or more discrete LED component. Since the arrangement of connections
9 can influence the way of the LED device initialization, the LED components
10 have to be tightly coupled with the LED device binding. They are represented
11 by child nodes of the parent LED device binding.
12
13 Optional properties for child nodes:
14 - led-sources : List of device current outputs the LED is connected to. The
15 outputs are identified by the numbers that must be defined
16 in the LED device binding documentation.
17 - label : The label for this LED. If omitted, the label is
18 taken from the node name (excluding the unit address).
19
20 - linux,default-trigger : This parameter, if present, is a
21 string defining the trigger assigned to the LED. Current triggers are:
22 "backlight" - LED will act as a back-light, controlled by the framebuffer
23 system
24 "default-on" - LED will turn on (but for leds-gpio see "default-state"
25 property in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/led.txt)
26 "heartbeat" - LED "double" flashes at a load average based rate
27 "ide-disk" - LED indicates disk activity
28 "timer" - LED flashes at a fixed, configurable rate
29
30 - max-microamp : maximum intensity in microamperes of the LED
31 (torch LED for flash devices)
32 - flash-max-microamp : maximum intensity in microamperes of the
33 flash LED; it is mandatory if the LED should
34 support the flash mode
35 - flash-timeout-us : timeout in microseconds after which the flash
36 LED is turned off
37
38
39 Examples:
40
41 system-status {
42 label = "Status";
43 linux,default-trigger = "heartbeat";
44 ...
45 };
46
47 camera-flash {
48 label = "Flash";
49 led-sources = <0>, <1>;
50 max-microamp = <50000>;
51 flash-max-microamp = <320000>;
52 flash-timeout-us = <500000>;
53 };
