Commit Message

(Exiting) Baolin Wang Sept. 27, 2018, 5:04 a.m. UTC
This patch adds one new led trigger that LED device can configure
the software or hardware pattern and trigger it.

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.

 - Change 'int' to 'u32' for delta_t field.

Changes from v9:
 - None.

Changes from v8:
 - None.

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:

Hi Baolin,

Thank you for adding the dimming support.

I've tested it and detected severe problem when
delta_t is lower than 50, i.e. UPDATE_INTERVAL.

echo "10 49 20 49" > pattern

results after a while in a system wide freeze, see the following
kernel log:

Probably the best solution would be to avoid the dimming if
delta_t is lower than UPDATE_INTERVAL.

Besides the above, please refer also to my comments below.

Let's change try_again label to "for (;;) {" here (it seems that
above condition needs to be evaluated only on enter to this function).

When in for (;;) loop, we can "continue" here instead.

I'm not sure if we discussed it earlier, but currently repeat_show
always reports initially requested repeat number, instead of the
number of remaining iterations. IMHO the latter approach would be
more useful.

Thanks for your testing. Yes, I will valid the delta_t value when user
use the gradual dimming, and add some comments in ABI to make it
clear, that we should not set delta_t lower than UPDATE_INTERVAL for
gradual dimming.

That's what we discussed before and had a consensus about this. Please see:

Ah right. I had a vague reminiscence of this discussion, but failed to
track it back.

OK, so no action is required here, let's keep the things as we agreed.

+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 constant 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.
+
+		1. 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. 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-|        +---------+    +---------+
+		    |        |         |    |         |
+		    |        |         |    |         |
+		    |        |         |    |         |

+What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
+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.
+
+		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.
