From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Krzysztof Kozlowski Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] dt-bindings: leds: Add pattern initialization from Device Tree Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2019 11:08:40 +0100 Message-ID: <1546596524-19863-2-git-send-email-krzk@kernel.org> References: <1546596524-19863-1-git-send-email-krzk@kernel.org> Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1546596524-19863-1-git-send-email-krzk@kernel.org> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Jacek Anaszewski , Pavel Machek , Rob Herring , Mark Rutland , Krzysztof Kozlowski , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-leds@vger.kernel.org, devicetree@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-leds@vger.kernel.org Document new led-pattern property for initialization of LED triggers. The property format is trigger-specific (except being array of integers). For pattern trigger, the explanation of pattern format was moved to a common file shared with sysfs ABI.
