Subject: [PATCH v7 0/5] Add a generic driver for LED-based backlight

This series aims to add a led-backlight driver, similar to pwm-backlight,
but using a LED class device underneath.

A few years ago (2015), Tomi Valkeinen posted a series implementing a
backlight driver on top of a LED device:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7293991/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7294001/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7293981/

The discussion stopped because Tomi lacked the time to work on it.

changes in v7:
- rebased on top of linux-leds/for-next
- populate the of_node member of the LED device if fwnode is a of_node
(this is a new patch and the first of the series).
- devm_led_get() works only when the device tree is used. Add a few checks
for that.

changes in v6:
- trim the list of included headers
- remove useless definition of BKL_FULL_BRIGHTNESS

changes in v5:
- removed LED brightness scaling
- disable sysfs the interface of the LEDs when used by the backlight device

changes in v4:
- fix dev_err() messages and commit logs following the advices of Pavel
- cosmetic changes (indents, getting rid of "? 1 : 0" in
led_match_led_node())

changes in v3:
- dt binding: don't limit the brightness range to 0-255. Use the range of
the underlying LEDs. as a side-effect, all LEDs must now have the same
range
- driver: Adapt to dt binding update.
- driver: rework probe() for clarity and remove the remaining goto.

changes in v2:
- handle more than one LED.
- don't make the backlight device a child of the LED controller.
- make brightness-levels and default-brightness-level optional
- removed the option to use a GPIO enable.
- removed the option to use a regulator. It should be handled by the LED
core
- don't make any change to the LED core (not needed anymore)

Jean-Jacques Hiblot (3):
leds: populate the device's of_node when possible
leds: Add managed API to get a LED from a device driver
dt-bindings: backlight: Add led-backlight binding

Tomi Valkeinen (2):
leds: Add of_led_get() and led_put()
backlight: add led-backlight driver

Subject: [PATCH v7 3/5] leds: Add managed API to get a LED from a device driver

If the LED is acquired by a consumer device with devm_led_get(), it is
automatically released when the device is detached.

+led-backlight bindings
+
+This binding is used to describe a basic backlight device made of LEDs.
+It can also be used to describe a backlight device controlled by the output of
+a LED driver.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: "led-backlight"
+ - leds: a list of LEDs
+
+Optional properties:
+ - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. The levels must be
+ in the range accepted by the underlying LED devices.
+ This is used to translate a backlight brightness level
+ into a LED brightness level. If it is not provided, the
+ identity mapping is used.
+
+ - default-brightness-level: The default brightness level.
+
+Example:
+
+ backlight {
+ compatible = "led-backlight";
+
+ leds = <&led1>, <&led2>;
+ brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;

Subject: [PATCH v7 5/5] backlight: add led-backlight driver

From: Tomi Valkeinen <[email protected]>

This patch adds a led-backlight driver (led_bl), which is similar to
pwm_bl except the driver uses a LED class driver to adjust the
brightness in the HW. Multiple LEDs can be used for a single backlight.

If initialization data is available and its fwnode is actually a of_node,
store this information in the led device's structure. This will allow the

It would be step backwards. You can do the conversion in the place of
use i.e. in devm_led_get().

Could be done. But it would break another use case I have. I'm also
working on the regulator support and for this one, of_node needs to be
populated.

Is there a problem populating of_node if the LED is indeed described in
the DT ?

I thought that regulator core can do the conversion to of_node itself,
but this seems not to be the case.

No, if it is not possible to do it otherwise.

It will break the build because it relies on functions not yet in the
LED core (devm_led_get() for v7 or devm_of_led_get() for v8)
