Commit Message

(Exiting) Baolin Wang Oct. 11, 2018, 4:07 a.m. UTC
This patch adds a new led trigger that LED device can employ
software or hardware pattern engine.

Consumers can write 'pattern' file to enable the software pattern
which alters the brightness for the specified duration with one
software timer.

Moreover consumers can write 'hw_pattern' file to enable the hardware
pattern for some LED controllers which can autonomously control
brightness over time, according to some preprogrammed hardware
patterns.

Changes from v14:
 - Improve the commit message and ABI documentation.
 - Fix some coding style issues.
 - Do not limit the tuple's duration larger than 50 ms, and treat is
 as a a step change of brightness.

Changes from v13:
 - Add duration validation for gradual dimming.
 - Coding style optimization.

Changes from v12:
 - Add gradual dimming support for software pattern.

Changes from v11:
 - Change -1 means repeat indefinitely.

Changes from v10:
 - Change 'int' to 'u32' for delta_t field.

Changes from v9:
 - None.

Changes from v8:
 - None.

Changes from v7:
 - Move the SC27XX hardware patterns description into its own ABI file.

Changes from v6:
 - Improve commit message.
 - Optimize the description of the hw_pattern file.
 - Simplify some logics.

Changes from v5:
 - Add one 'hw_pattern' file for hardware patterns.

Changes from v4:
 - Change the repeat file to return the originally written number.
 - Improve comments.
 - Fix some build warnings.

Changes from v3:
 - Reset pattern number to 0 if user provides incorrect pattern string.
 - Support one pattern.

Changes from v2:
 - Remove hardware_pattern boolen.
 - Chnage the pattern string format.

Changes from v1:
 - Use ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() to define attributes.
 - Introduce hardware_pattern flag to determine if software pattern
 or hardware pattern.
 - Re-implement pattern_trig_store_pattern() function.
 - Remove pattern_get() interface.
 - Improve comments.
 - Other small optimization.

OK, let's abide by constant update interval for now.

Thank you for your work on this patch set throughout
all these months. We will have -rc8, so one week of testing
before sending upstream should be enough.

Patch set applied to the for-next branch of linux-leds.git.

Thanks Jacek and Pavel, you are so patient and always give me lots of

Ok, so I got around to testing this.

echo "0 1000 10 2550 0 1000 0 100" > pattern

makes expected pattern [  .-xXx-.  ].

But when I do

echo "0 1000 10 2550 0 1000" > pattern

I only get expected pattern on the first iteration, then I get
[    Xx-.   ].

I'm using led-controller:flash on nokia n900 (so everything in
software).

Thanks for patience, too. I'm pretty sure pattern trigger will be
useful in future.

This is because the tuples are processed in a loop, without
discerning between start and end of the sequence.

So this sequence ends up being squashed, because of the
comparison:

if (data->curr->brightness == data->next->brightness) {
	//step change od brightness
	...
	/* Skip the tuple with zero duration */

Here we actually only assume that this is zero duration since it
is not checked. Possibly needs fixing.

	pattern_trig_update_patterns(data);
	/* Select next tuple */
	pattern_trig_update_patterns(data);

In effect we have:

0 -> 10    // dimming
10 -> 0    // dimming
0 skipped  // step
10 -> 0    // dimming
0 skipped  // step
10 -> 0    // dimming
...

In order to get "rise - fall - rise - fall" sequence you need
only two tuples:

echo "0 1000 10 1000" > pattern

which will be processed as follows:

0 -> 10    // dimming
10 -> 0    // dimming
0 -> 10    // dimming
10 -> 0    // dimming
0 -> 10    // dimming
10 -> 0    // dimming

Yep, it fixes the issue.

Yes. Maybe add one function to valid the patterns.

We don't fail on attempt of setting brightness > max_brightness, but
only truncate it. In this case we could do the same for consistency.

+What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern
+Date:		September 2018
+KernelVersion:	4.20
+Description:
+		Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+		the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+		timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
+
+		The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
+		duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and
+		each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
+		0 means brightness should immediately change to new value, and
+		writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one.
+
+		1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50
+		milliseconds. So the tuple with duration less than dimming
+		interval (50ms) is treated as a step change of brightness,
+		i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without adding
+		intervening dimming intervals.
+
+		The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be:
+		"brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3
+		duration_3 ...". For example:
+
+		echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
+
+		It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255)
+		intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000
+		milliseconds:
+
+		LED brightness
+		    ^
+		255-|       / \            / \            /
+		    |      /    \         /    \         /
+		    |     /       \      /       \      /
+		    |    /          \   /          \   /
+		  0-|   /             \/             \/
+		    +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+		2. To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+		we should use use zero-time lengths (the brightness must be same as
+		the previous tuple's). So the format should be:
+		"brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_1 0 brightness_2 duration_2
+		brightness_2 0 ...". For example:
+
+		echo 0 1000 0 0 255 2000 255 0 > pattern
+
+		It will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
+		for two seconds:
+
+		LED brightness
+		    ^
+		255-|        +---------+    +---------+

+Date:		September 2018
+KernelVersion:	4.20
+Description:
+		Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
+		supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
+		to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active
+		software pattern.
+
+		Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
+		hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
+		description for the hardware patterns in their ABI documentation
+		file.
+
+What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat
+Date:		September 2018
+KernelVersion:	4.20
+Description:
+		Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely,
+		other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.
+
+		This file will always return the originally written repeat
+		number.
