It turned out to be really hard to cover all known pattern generator implementations with generic interface. Sure, it would be nice to have one, but the whole discussion around [0] only unveiled the diversity of parameters to cover. And still new devices appear on the market. We would have to propose a set of pattern schemes and allow to add new ones to it. > If we really need solution now, I'd recommend "pattern" file with > > "<delta time> <brightness> <delta time> <brightness>". > > In this specific case, hardware only supports patterns in this format: > > low_time 0 rise_time 255 high_time 255 fall_time 0 > > so driver would simply -EINVAL on anything else. I'm fine with the pattern file, but the pattern format would have to be defined in the per-driver ABI documentation. It wouldn't much differ from the custom pattern approach though, unless I'm missing some gain of having pattern setting in a uniformly named single sysfs file (with semantics differing from driver to driver). -- Best regards, Jacek Anaszewski

This patch adds the binding documentation for Spreadtrum SC27xx series breathing light controller, which supports 3 outputs: red LED, green LED and blue LED.
