[v7,01/11] leds: add support for hardware driven LEDs
Commit Message
Some LEDs can be driven by hardware (for example a LED connected to
an ethernet PHY or an ethernet switch can be configured to blink on
activity on the network, which in software is done by the netdev trigger).
To do such offloading, LED driver must support this and a supported
trigger must be used.
LED driver should declare the correct blink_mode supported and should set
the blink_mode parameter to one of HARDWARE_CONTROLLED or
SOFTWARE_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED.
The trigger will check this option and fail to activate if the blink_mode
is not supported. By default if a LED driver doesn't declare blink_mode,
SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED is assumed.
The LED must implement 3 main API:
- hw_control_status(): This asks the LED driver if hardware mode is
enabled or not.
Triggers will check if the offload mode is supported and will be
activated accordingly. If the trigger can't run in software mode,
return -EOPNOTSUPP as the blinking can't be simulated by software.
- hw_control_start(): This will simply enable the hardware mode for
the LED.
With this not declared and hw_control_status() returning true,
it's assumed that the LED is always in hardware mode.
- hw_control_stop(): This will simply disable the hardware mode for
the LED.
With this not declared and hw_control_status() returning true,
it's assumed that the LED is always in hardware mode.
It's advised to the driver to put the LED in the old state but this
is not enforcerd and putting the LED off is also accepted.
With HARDWARE_CONTROLLED blink_mode hw_control_status/start/stop is
optional and any software only trigger will reject activation as the LED
supports only hardware mode.
An additional config CONFIG_LEDS_HARDWARE_CONTROL is added to add support
for LEDs that can be controlled by hardware.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the patch.
I think Andrew's email is offline at the moment.

Should be returning true/false. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the style of
this though - wouldn't the following be easier to read?
switch (led_cdev->blink_mode) {
case SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED:
return trigger->supported_blink_modes != HARDWARE_ONLY;
case HARDWARE_CONTROLLED:
return trigger->supported_blink_modes != SOFTWARE_ONLY;
case SOFTWARE_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED:
return true;
}
?
Also, does it really need a default case - without it, when the
led_blink_modes enum is expanded and the switch statement isn't
updated, we'll get a compiler warning which will prompt this to be
updated - whereas, with a default case, it won't.

Shouldn't validation happen before we start taking any actions? In other
words, before we remove the previous trigger?

I suspect all these generic names are asking for eventual namespace
clashes. Maybe prefix them with LED_ ?
Thanks.

I added the default just to mute some compiler warning. But guess if
every enum is handled the warning should not be reported.

trigger_set first remove any trigger and set the led off. Then apply the
new trigger. So the validation is done only when a trigger is actually
applied. Think we should understand the best case here.

Agree they are pretty generic so I can see why... My only concern was
making them too long... Maybe reduce them to SW or HW? LEDS_SW_ONLY...
LEDS_SW_CONTROLLED?

Sadly, Andrew's email has done this a number of times - and Andrew
used to be on IRC so I could prod him about it, but it seems he
doesn't hang out on IRC anymore. It's been like it a few days now.

I think this is a question that needs to be answered by the LEDs folk,
as it's an interface behaviour / quality of implementation issue.

Seems sensible to me - and as a bonus they get shorter than the above!

That was part of the problem. Away travelling when foot gun hit foot,
and i didn't have access to the tools to fix it while away.

+Hardware driven LEDs
+===================================
+
+Some LEDs can be driven by hardware (for example a LED connected to
+an ethernet PHY or an ethernet switch can be configured to blink on activity on
+the network, which in software is done by the netdev trigger).
+
+To do such offloading, LED driver must support this and a supported trigger must
+be used.
+
+LED driver should declare the correct blink_mode supported and should set the
+blink_mode parameter to one of HARDWARE_CONTROLLED or SOFTWARE_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED.
+The trigger will check this option and fail to activate if the blink_mode is not
+supported. By default if a LED driver doesn't declare blink_mode, SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED
+is assumed.
