well as use label in the example that conforms to LED device naming.

Ok, but userspace still has no chance to determine if this is flash
from main camera or flash for front camera; todays smartphones have
flashes on both cameras.

So.. Can I suggset as3645a:white:main_camera_flash or main_flash or
....?

Thanks,

If there's just a single one in the device, could you use that?

Even if we name this so for N9 (and N900), the application still would only
work with the two devices.

My suggestion would be to look for a flash LED, and perhaps the maximum
current as well. That should generally work better than assumptions on the
label.

For association with a particular camera --- in the long run I'd propose to
use Media controller / property API for that in the long run. We don't have
that yet though.

Cc Jacek, too.

Well, I'd plan to name it on other devices, too.

If you just look for flash LED, you don't know if it is front one or
back one. Its true that if you have just one flash it is usually on
the back camera, but you can't know if maybe driver is not available
for the main flash.

Lets get this right, please "main_camera_flash" is 12 bytes more than
"flash", and it saves application logic.. more than 12 bytes, I'm sure.

We don't have that yet. Plus simple applications may not want to talk

What you are trying to introduce is yet another level of LED class
device naming standard, one level below devicename:colour:function.
It seems you want also to come up with the set of standarized LED
function names. This would certainly have to be covered for consistency.

I really dislike how this naming convention is used for label. label is 
supposed to be the phyically identifiable name. Having the devicename 
defeats that. Perhaps color, too. We'd be better off with a color 
property. It seems we're overloading the naming with too many things. 
Now we're adding device association.

I do want to see standard names though. On 96boards for example, there 
are defined LEDs and locations. The function on some are defined (e.g. 
WiFi/BT) and somewhat undefined on others (user{1-4}). I'd like to see 
the same label across all boards.

Regarding devicename - there is indeed inconsistency in the way how LED
DT bindings use label, as some of them use it for defining full LED
class device name, and the rest fill only colour and function, leaving
addition of a devicename to the driver.

The problem is also in current definition of label in LED common
bindings documentation, which says:

"It has to uniquely identify a device, i.e. no other LED class device
can be assigned the same label."

In view of your above words this is not true, and we probably should
remove this sentence (it doesn't have DT maintainer ack btw).

Currently we have following LED functions (obtained with
grep label Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/* | sed
s'/^.*label/label/g' | awk -F"=" '{print $2}' | sed '/^$/d' | sed
s'/.*:\(.*\)";/\1/' | sed '/^\s\{1,\}/d' | sort -u)

By extracting numerical pattern names and replacing numbers with N

Is this list something you'd like to see as a base of standard LED

supplemented with new positions.

Even better option is to grep through all *.dts* files in the arch
directory. A slightly modified command chain. which removes numerical
postfixes (there are some not covered corner cases though)

find arch -name "*.dts*" | xargs grep label | sed s'/^.*label/label/g' |
awk -F"=" '{print $2}' | sed s'/.*:\(.*\)";/\1/' | sed '/^\s\{1,\}/d' |
sed s'/\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]*\)/\1/' | sed '/^$/d' | sort -u

gives following 135 positions (~5 colours percolated due
to some non-covered corner cases), and some of them don't belong
to LED DT nodes unfortunately, as e.g. gpio-keys use also ":" as
a delimiter in their labels, but the whole set gives reasonable

Hi Rob,

Any thoughts on my analysis? Do you think that LED function naming
standardization would really make sense having the abundance
of LED functions categories present in the mainline dts files?

The list of standard LED function names would have to be
continuously extended as people would be adding new boards.
Limiting users to only existing set of LED functions wouldn't
be practical IMHO.

I'd propose only to modify 'label' property description in LED common
bindings, so that it would explicitly state that it should contain only
"colour:functon" segments. It would be driver's responsibility to add
"devicename:" prefix to the label and use the whole string for a LED
class device name. Some drivers do that already. All DT bindings, dts
files and LED class drivers that don't adhere to this rule would have
to be updated accordingly.

Regarding colour - the "devicename:colour:function" LED device naming
convention defined in Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt is around for
a long time. Since LED colour can vary from board two board and is
independent of a driver, we have to have a means for defining it in
DT. Would you see providing separate 'colour' DT property as a solution?
