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.

There seems to be a 4-way mux in all variants, but the wiring is
different in the different products. E.g. in pm8941 1 represents VPH_PWR
while in pmi8994 this is pulled from a dedicated pin named VIN_RGB.

Would you like me to list the 4 options for each compatible?

Some use cases for this hardware block is to use it as a "traditional"
PWM source, so any channels not allocated to a LED are available as pwm
channels.

So this is from the Dragonboard410c, where the example application is to
wire this pwm signal as control signal to a backlight controller; i.e.
using pwm-backlight associated with the display panel.


For testing purposes I did route the signal to another gpio with a LED
on the board, added a LED node here and saw that I can control that as
well.

I did include this example here, even though there's no LED, just to
show how this could be done.

Of course.

There is a few other hardware components that can be fed the output of
the LPG as control signal, but I think the GPIO sink case above does
showcase the power.

Could you please explain why user would prefer one power source
over the other? Is it that they have different max current limit?

One more question regarding TRILED - in your design it will be
exposed as a single LED class device with one brightness file,
right? Does it mean that all three LEDs will be applied the
same brightness after writing it to the sysfs file?

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

I'd replace this property with led-max-microamp
(see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt) and let
the driver to decide which power source to choose, basing on that limit.

The rgb DT node name would be a bit misleading in this case, since
RGB usually implies the possibility of having different intensity
of each color.

Pavel made and attempt of reworking Heiner Kallweit's HSV approach
few months ago [0]. You can take a look and share your opinion
or even continue this effort.

Agreed.

Unfortunately I don't think specifying this in uA is possible, at least
some of these inputs does not have a knows (at least not platform
defined) current limit.

Like in the case on PM8941, the knobs this property tweaks is: "should
we output 3.6V or 5V" and both values depend on external power-supplies.

For most cases specifying this as led-microvolt would be possible, but
then there are the levels that are min(5V, charger).


One thing we've done in some other drivers with similar "enum" like
types is to provide an dt-bindings include file with these constants.
This makes the dts self documented and doesn't require additional
translation of the values.

In the sense of the devicetree this is exactly what it describes, the
fact that we haven't figured out a way to implement this is, in my view,
a separate topic.

I did not consider using HSV to get around the problem of everything
operating on "brightness", but this seems like a quite nice solution.

In the case of lpg_brightness_set() this would map nicely into the case
where a LED is either a single channel or three channels, and until we
land those patches the driver would just implement H = S = 0.

And for the pattern setting, we can retain the proposed interface of
pattern being a sequence of brightness/delay values and then map this in
the driver as we apply the patterns.

Sounds good.

Indeed, I was just looking at it from the LED ABI POV.

Yes, the HSV approach would be very nice especially due to its
compatibility with monochrome LEDs. We will however need to allow
for defining suitable coefficients for adjusting HSV values,
so that the perceived color matched the expected one.

+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 {

+			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 {
