This adds the binding document describing the three hardware blocks
related to the Light Pulse Generator found in a wide range of Qualcomm
PMICs.

Signed-off-by: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@linaro.org>

---

Changes since v2:
- Squashed all things into one node
- Removed quirks from the binding, compatible implies number of channels, their
  configuration etc.
- Binding describes LEDs connected as child nodes
- Support describing multi-channel LEDs
- Change style of the binding document, to match other LED bindings

Changes since v1:
- Dropped custom pattern properties
- Renamed cell-index to qcom,lpg-channel to clarify its purpose

LED has to be represented as a child node -

Could you please also provide an example of the arrangement on the
board DragonBoard820c, you were describing in the discussions under
the previous version of the patch set. i.e. three green LEDs connected
to TRILED and one to the GPIO sink?

Also any other non-trivial board configurations supported by the
driver would allow to increase our comprehensions of the device
capabilities.

The mux in pm8941 is connected to ground (0V), vph_pwr (3.6V), internal
5V and min(5V, charger). In pmi8994 it's ground, vdd_rgb (a dedicated
pin) and 4.2V. PMI8998 is a slight variation of PMI8994 and I expect
there to be more variants.

So it's different voltage level and, potentially, current limit.

Correct, each LED described in DT will become one LED and can have more
than one (any number of) physical channel associated. The current
implementation applies the same brightness (and pattern) to all channels
associated with a LED.

The open question is still how to pass a color from user space, the
brightness_set and pattern_set would need to be modified to map a list
of brightnesses to the individual channels or to adapt the brightness by
some color-modifier(?).


I've tested the driver on single-LEDs and on RGB-leds and it supports
both, the latter with pulse pattern synchronized over the 3 channels.
So I'm hoping that we can move forward with merging the driver with this
limitation and then discuss the RGB interface in LED-class separately.

Bjorn

+Binding for Qualcomm Light Pulse Generator
+
+The Qualcomm Light Pulse Generator consists of three different hardware blocks;
+a ramp generator with lookup table, the light pulse generator and a three
+channel current sink. These blocks are found in a wide range of Qualcomm PMICs.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: one of:
+	      "qcom,pm8916-pwm",
+	      "qcom,pm8941-lpg",
+	      "qcom,pm8994-lpg",
+	      "qcom,pmi8994-lpg",
+	      "qcom,pmi8998-lpg",
+
+Optional properties:
+- qcom,power-source: power-source used to drive the output, as defined in the
+		     datasheet. Should be specified if the TRILED block is
+		     present
+- qcom,dtest: configures the output into an internal test line of the
+	      pmic. Specified by a list of u32 pairs, one pair per channel,
+	      where each pair denotes the test line to drive and the second
+	      configures how the value should be outputed, as defined in the
+	      datasheet
+- #pwm-cells: should be 2, see ../pwm/pwm.txt
+
+LED subnodes:
+A set of subnodes can be used to specify LEDs connected to the LPG. Channels
+not associated with a LED are available as pwm channels, see ../pwm/pwm.txt.
+
+Required properties:
+- led-sources: list of channels associated with this LED, starting at 1 for the
+	       first LPG channel
+
+Optional properties:
+- label: see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt
+- default-state: see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt
+- linux,default-trigger: see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt
+
+Example:
+The following example defines a RGB LED attached to the PM8941.
+
+&spmi_bus {
+	pm8941@1 {
+		lpg {
+			compatible = "qcom,pm8941-lpg";
+			qcom,power-source = <1>;
+
+			rgb {
+				led-sources = <7 6 5>;
+			};
+		};
+	};
+};
+
+The following example defines the single PWM channel of the PM8916, which can
+be muxed by the MPP4 as a current sink.
+
+&spmi_bus {
+	pm8916@1 {
+		pm8916_pwm: pwm {
+			compatible = "qcom,pm8916-pwm";
+
+			#pwm-cells = <2>;
+		};
+	};
+};
