+Authors: Jared Zhou <jared-zhou@ti.com>
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The LP5812 is a 4x3 maxtrix LED driver with support for both manual and
+autonomous animation control. It provides features such as:
+
+- PWM dimming and DC current control
+- Slope time configuration
+- Autonomous Engine Unit (AEU) for LED animation playback
+- Flexible scan and drive mode configuration
+
+This driver provides sysfs interfaces to control and configure the LP5812
+device and its LED channels.
+
+Sysfs Interface
+===============
+
+LP5812 device exposes a chip-level sysfs group:
+ /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<i2c-dev-addr>/lp5812_chip_setup/
+
+The following attributes are available at chip level:
+ - device_enable: Enable/disable the device (RW)
+ - dev_config: Configure drive mode and scan order (RW)
+ - device_command: Issue device-wide commands (WO)
+ - device_reset: Reset the device (WO)
+ - fault_clear: Clear any device faults (WO)
+ - tsd_config_status: Read thermal shutdown config status (RO)
+
+Each LED channel is exposed as:
+ /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<i2c-dev-addr>/led_<id>/
+
+Each LED exposes the following attributes:
+ - enable: Enable or disable the LED (RW)
+ - mode: manual or autonomous mode (RW)
+ - manual_dc: DC current value (0–255) (RW)
+ - manual_pwm: PWM duty cycle (0–255) (RW)
+ - autonomous_dc: DC current in autonomous mode (RW)
+ - pwm_dimming_scale: linear or exponential (RW)
+ - pwm_phase_align: PWM alignment mode (RW)
+ - autonomous_animation: Config autonomous animation mode with aeu number, start pause time, stop pause time, playback time (RW)
+ - aep_status: autonomous engine pattern status (RO)
+ - auto_pwm_val: pwm value in autonomous mode when pause the animation (RO)
+ - lod_lsd: lod and lsd fault detected status (RO)
+
+Example Usage
+=============
+
+To control led_A0 in manual mode::
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/lp5812_chip_setup/device_enable
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/enable
+ echo manual > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/mode
+ echo 100 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/manual_dc
+ echo 100 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/manual_pwm
+
+To control led_A0 in autonomous mode::
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/lp5812_chip_setup/device_enable
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/enable
+ echo autonomous > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/mode
+ echo 1:10:10:15 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/autonomous_animation
+ echo 100 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/AEU1/pwm1

+ echo 5 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/AEU1/slope_time_t3
+ echo 5 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/AEU1/slope_time_t4
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/AEU1/playback_time
+ echo start > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/lp5812_chip_setup/device_command
