Subject: [PATCH v7 1/5] leds: core: add generic support for RGB LED's

Add generic support for RGB LED's.

Basic idea is to use enum led_brightness also for the hue and saturation
color components.This allows to implement the color extension w/o
changes to struct led_classdev.

Select LEDS_RGB to enable building drivers using the RGB extension.

Flag LED_SET_HUE_SAT allows to specify that hue / saturation
should be overridden even if the provided values are zero.

Some examples for writing values to /sys/class/leds/<xx>/brightness:
(now also hex notation can be used)

255 -> set full brightness and keep existing color if set
0 -> switch LED off but keep existing color so that it can be restored
if the LED is switched on again later
0x1000000 -> switch LED off and set also hue and saturation to 0
0x00ffff -> set full brightness, full saturation and set hue to 0 (red)

v2:
- move extension-specific code into a separate source file and
introduce config symbol LEDS_HSV for it
- create separate patch for the extension to sysfs
- use variable name led_cdev as in the rest if the core
- rename to_hsv to led_validate_brightness
- rename LED_BRIGHTNESS_SET_COLOR to LED_SET_HSV
- introduce helper is_off for checking whether V part
of a HSV value is zero
v3:
- change Kconfig to use depend instead of select, add help message,
and change config symbol to LEDS_COLOR
- change LED core object file name in Makefile
- rename flag LED_SET_HSV to LED_SET_COLOR
- rename is_off to led_is_off
- rename led_validate-brightness to led_confine_brightness
- rename variable in led_confine_brightness
- add dummy enum led_brightness value to enforce 32bit enum
- rename led-hsv-core.c to led-color-core.c
- move check of provided brightness value to led_confine_brightness
v4:
- change config symbol name to LEDS_RGB
- change name of new file to led-rgb-core.c
- factor out part of led_confine_brightness
- change led_is_off to __is_set_brightness
- in led_set_software_blink pass led_cdev->max_brightness instead of LED_FULL
- rename LED_SET_COLOR to LED_SET_HUE_SAT
v5:
- change "RGB Color LED" to "RGB LED" in Kconfig
- move definition of LED_HUE_SAT_MASK to drivers/leds/leds.h
- rename LED_DEV_CAP_HSV to LED_DEV_CAP_RGB
v6:
- no change
v7:
- removed "Color" from RGB Color LED in commit message and title
- don't include linux/kernel.h in led-rgb-core.c
- keep definition of LED_DEV_CAP_[] flags together

I admit I hadn't seen this earlier, and I didn't spend all day
looking at previous attempts, but what's the motivation for
putting all this overloaded syntax into the "brightness" file? I
thought the point was to have a single value in each file, one of
the references I did find was
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-leds/msg02995.html Is there
some thread where this was decided as advantageous? Surely 0-255
for _brightness_ is what the brightness entry should do?

I'd like to set the rgb colour of a led (or hsv, that can be it's
own file too) and separately ramp the brightness up and down. I
also think it's substantially simpler and easier to use from the
user's point of view, which is surely the place you want easy
right?

Sincerely,
Karl Palsson

The referenced mail thread refers to a proposed sysfs attribute
holding a list of space-separated entries. Here it's still about
one numeric value.
Advantage of the approach used now is the full backwards compatibilty.
You can still set brightness to 0..255 and only the brightness will
change (as expected). Or in other words: So far only V was supported,
now we support HSV as a superset.

What you describe is perfectly possible with the new approach.

Only by using magically different formats for what I write to the
file labelled "brightness" I'm really not a fan of a knob called
"brightness" that does _other things_ if you write something
different to it.

With single value per file there would be problems with colour
components setting synchronization.

You can find a reference to the related discussion in [1].

I'm also not very keen on overloading the brightness attribute
semantics. Nonetheless it seems impossible to add support for
setting three colour components otherwise than through a single
syscall, if we want to make it synchronous and compatible with
LED triggers.

HSV color scheme is also very convenient for adapting monochrome
brightness semantics to the RGB realm.

Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 1/5] leds: core: add generic support for RGB LED's

Hi Heiner,

Thanks for the updated set. I've renamed the feature to RGB LED class
and pushed out to devel branch of linux-leds.git. It will sit there
till the end of the upcoming merge window. There have been some
uncertainties raised related to overloading brightness syntax. so let's
better have it in linux-next through the whole next development cycle
for the people to comment on.

Thanks,
Jacek Anaszewski

Thanks Jacek, fine with me. I think in the next days I can come up with
two or three follow-up patches using this RGB LED functionality in triggers.
They would also be candidates for the devel branch then.
