* Common leds properties.
LED and flash LED devices provide the same basic functionality as current
regulators, but extended with LED and flash LED specific features like
blinking patterns, flash timeout, flash faults and external flash strobe mode.
Many LED devices expose more than one current output that can be connected
to one or more discrete LED component. Since the arrangement of connections
can influence the way of the LED device initialization, the LED components
have to be tightly coupled with the LED device binding. They are represented
by child nodes of the parent LED device binding.
Optional properties for child nodes:
- led-sources : List of device current outputs the LED is connected to. The
outputs are identified by the numbers that must be defined
in the LED device binding documentation.
- label : The label for this LED. If omitted, the label is taken from the node
name (excluding the unit address). It has to uniquely identify
a device, i.e. no other LED class device can be assigned the same
label.
- default-state : The initial state of the LED. Valid values are "on", "off",
and "keep". If the LED is already on or off and the default-state property is
set the to same value, then no glitch should be produced where the LED
momentarily turns off (or on). The "keep" setting will keep the LED at
whatever its current state is, without producing a glitch. The default is
off if this property is not present.
- linux,default-trigger : This parameter, if present, is a
string defining the trigger assigned to the LED. Current triggers are:
"backlight" - LED will act as a back-light, controlled by the framebuffer
system
"default-on" - LED will turn on (but for leds-gpio see "default-state"
property in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-gpio.txt)
"heartbeat" - LED "double" flashes at a load average based rate
"disk-activity" - LED indicates disk activity
"ide-disk" - LED indicates IDE disk activity (deprecated),
in new implementations use "disk-activity"
"timer" - LED flashes at a fixed, configurable rate
- led-max-microamp : Maximum LED supply current in microamperes. This property
can be made mandatory for the board configurations
introducing a risk of hardware damage in case an excessive
current is set.
For flash LED controllers with configurable current this
property is mandatory for the LEDs in the non-flash modes
(e.g. torch or indicator).
- panic-indicator : This property specifies that the LED should be used,
if at all possible, as a panic indicator.
- trigger-sources : List of devices which should be used as a source triggering
this LED activity. Some LEDs can be related to a specific
device and should somehow indicate its state. E.g. USB 2.0
LED may react to device(s) in a USB 2.0 port(s).
Another common example is switch or router with multiple
Ethernet ports each of them having its own LED assigned
(assuming they are not hardwired). In such cases this
property should contain phandle(s) of related source
device(s).
In many cases LED can be related to more than one device
(e.g. one USB LED vs. multiple USB ports). Each source
should be represented by a node in the device tree and be
referenced by a phandle and a set of phandle arguments. A
length of arguments should be specified by the
#trigger-source-cells property in the source node.
Required properties for flash LED child nodes:
- flash-max-microamp : Maximum flash LED supply current in microamperes.
- flash-max-timeout-us : Maximum timeout in microseconds after which the flash
LED is turned off.
For controllers that have no configurable current the flash-max-microamp
property can be omitted.
For controllers that have no configurable timeout the flash-max-timeout-us
property can be omitted.
* Trigger source providers
Each trigger source should be represented by a device tree node. It may be e.g.
a USB port or an Ethernet device.
Required properties for trigger source:
- #trigger-source-cells : Number of cells in a source trigger. Typically 0 for
nodes of simple trigger sources (e.g. a specific USB
port).
