[RFC PATCH 0/5] leds: Add DT node finding and parsing to core

[RFC PATCH 0/5] leds: Add DT node finding and parsing to core

[Matti Vaittinen]

RFC series improving common LED binding parsing support

Qucik grep for 'for_each' or 'linux,default-trigger' says it all.

Multiple LED controller drivers implement the very similar looping
through the child DT nodes in order to locate the LED nodes and read
and support the common LED dt bindings. Implementing this same
stuff for all LED controllers gets old pretty fast.

This RFC contains 3 suggestions:

Simplest is adding support for parsing the linux,default-trigger,
and default-state DT properties in led-core.

More interesting part is adding correct LED DT node lookup in
LED core. This RFC uses LED DT node names as a 'key' in a same
way regulator framework does for regulators. The thing is that
this approach requires the LED controller binding to dictate allowed
LED node names - which may or may not be doable. I need your help to
evaluate this and suggest better options :) If we still look at the
regulators, the regulator core did originally use "regulator-core"
property to do driver data/DT node pairing - but has since then
changed the approach to using the DT node names.

Last and least clear point is isolating the led_classdev to be owned
by the LED core. Controller drivers should pretty much never touch
it after the initialization. So one approach would be that drivers
only provided initialization data and operations to the core.

The patch series contains the led-core and led-class changes which
introduce (yet another) APIs for registering led class device to
core. Adding new interface is probably not the best option - one
might consider changing the (devm_)led_classdev_register_ext to do
what this new RFC API is doing.

In addition to core changes this series converted two (randomly
selected) existing drivers to use the new API. This can give an
overview how offloading the DT parsing to core could simplify many
of the LED controlled drivers.

Patches HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED other than for compiling. They are
only intended to be a starting point for discussion - and if the
ideas are seen worthy - then the patches should be further worked
and properly tested before being applied.

[RFC PATCH 1/5] leds: Add common LED binding parsing support to LED class/core

[Matti Vaittinen]

Qucik grep for 'for_each' or 'linux,default-trigger' or
'default-state' under drivers/leds can tell quite a lot. It seems
multiple LED controller drivers implement the very similar looping
through the child nodes in order to locate the LED nodes and read
and support the common LED dt bindings. Implementing this same
stuff for all LED controllers gets old pretty fast.

This commit adds support for locating the LED node (based on known
node names - this is one RFC item as it may not be optimal) and
parsing of a few common LED DT properties.

This is achieved via new API and old APIs are untouched. Ideally
the new API won't be introduced though but some of the existing
APIs could be converted to do the DT node lookup and parsing.

If no starting point for node lookup is given, (parent) device's
own DT node is used. If no node name match is given, then device's
own node or passed stating point are used as such.

linux,default-trigger,
default-state (with the exception of keep),

(in addition to already handled
function-enumerator,
function,
color
and label).

Additionally this commit gives a nudge towards transferring the
led_classdev ownership from led controller drivers to LED class.
New API no longer allows controller driver to provide the
led_classdev but only the required init_data and operations. In
general most of the drivers should not directly touch the
leds_classdev after it is initialized. LEDs class belongs to,
well, LEDs class.

This commit HAS NOT BEEN TESTED at all. Only compile tested.
This is only RFC - Eg, request for comments. If people see some
of the ideas as useful then properly tested patch can be provided.

[RFC PATCH 2/5] dt-bindings: an30259a: example for using fixed LED node names.

[Matti Vaittinen]

Use predefined LED node name to match the LED node in driver.

It would be nice to offload common LED property parsing to
LED core driver. One of the key things to allow this is somehow
'pair' the LED DT node with LED driver initialization data.

This patch uses LED node name as a 'key' in a same fashion
as regulators do. The an30259a was selected as demonstration
example and this change may not be really feasible for an30259a
as I have no idea whether the existing DTs for devices out there
have specific node names (or can be changed). This servers just
as an example to initiate discussion as to how we could pair the
driver data and DT node.

This is wrong. reg requires a unit-address and vice-versa.

Right.

I'd be interested to know how using node name(s) to match the driver
data (like regulators do) is seen in general? Is this a bad idea for
LEDs? Would it be better to have a leds-compatible (like we had
regulator-compatible before)?

If node names can be used - would

	led1@1 {

	};

	led2@2 {

	};
	... do?

Using node names as key requires them to be unique. Other option could
be doing the search based on node name and unit-address combination - 
but if unit-address depends on board the led is placed - then driver
might not know it. Should I convert the RFC to introduce and use led-
compatible?

even though I like the idea of convention-over-code, but if that's
changing allowed LED names that would risk breaking things, eg:

a) existing DT's (in the field) become incompatible with newer
   kernel versions
b) existing userlands that rely on speicific LED names become
   incomatible with newer kernel versions.

Hello Enrico & All,

First of all - thanks for showing the interest :] I am happy knowing
someone actually was interested about the RFC :)

This was my main concern. This of course would not mean that we could
not take this approach for new LED controller drivers - but that would
(probably) lead to dual led registration interface - one for current
approach where LED drivers do all the dirty work themself - and parse
the DT - one for new drivers which could leave DT parsing to LED core.

> b) existing userlands that rely on speicific LED names become

I didn't even think this far, but yes, I see... LED node name might be
reflected in user-space LED name. I won't start arguing if this is sane
or not - this is what we seem to be living with today :)

Anyways, I did send out a LED core change patch which allows one to add
either the node-name, or a property-value pair in init_data. LED core
can then use either of these to do LED node lookup. If none of these is
given, then we can fall-back to existing logic. That way we won't
change existing stuff.
Here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/258b5c9934e2b31a5f433a7dbb908dfe5da3d30c.1574059625.git.matti.vaittinen@fi.rohmeurope.com/T/#u


I didn't invest too much of time on this yet - but at first glimpse it
seemed that at least some of the drivers did use reg - property with
fixed value to do the matching. Those could set the property name to
'reg' and value to 'X' and leave the DT node lookup and common property
parsing to the LED core. If my patch won't get too big objection (and
if no fatal flaws are found from the idea) - then I might try and find
the time to do some follow-up patches simplifying existing LED
drivers...

Maybe just a flag for that ? Perhaps the driver could also specify a
list of node names for the LEDs, so led-core can do the lookup for them.

Especially in embedded world, this can really make sense: applications
just use a defined LED name, no matter which board it's running on.
Convention over configuration.

Personally, I also like to use LED subsystem as frontend for things like
gpio-driven relais, etc, and assign semantically fitting names instead
of "technical" ones,

This is actually close to what I suggested in my other email to Jacek.

Definitely. I am all for generating the name based on LED _function_ -
no matter what the board is. I like the LED name generation base on
'function' DT property. But node names tend to be somewhat generic - or
board specific (to avoid collisions). So using node name directly is
not (as far as my understanding goes - which is limited on this topic)
optimal for guaranteeing coherent view (across the boards) for user-
space. Wow, what a nice sentence for non native English speaker like me
xD

Don't do that. Maybe we need "named GPIOs", but lets not abuse LED
subsystem for that. (Even if I may have made that mistake before).
