leds: Introduce the multi_max_intensity sysfs attribute

2026-06-17T10:28:52+00:00

Some multicolor LEDs support global brightness control in hardware, meaning that the maximum intensity of the color components is not connected to the maximum global brightness. Such LEDs cannot be described properly by the current multicolor LED class interface, because it assumes that the maximum intensity of each color component is described by the maximum global brightness of the LED. Fix this by introducing a new sysfs attribute called "multi_max_intensity" holding the maximum intensity values for the color components of a multicolor LED class device. Drivers can use the new max_intensity field inside struct mc_subled to tell the multicolor LED class code about those values. Intensity values written by userspace applications will be limited to this maximum value. Drivers for multicolor LEDs that do not support global brightness control in hardware might still want to use the maximum global LED brightness supplied via devicetree as the maximum intensity of each individual color component. Such drivers should set max_intensity to 0 so that the multicolor LED core can act accordingly. The lp50xx and ncp5623 LED drivers already use hardware-based control for the global LED brightness. Modify those drivers to correctly initalize .max_intensity to avoid being limited to the maximum global brightness supplied via devicetree.

leds: Make flash and multicolor dependencies unconditional

2024-03-07T08:48:03+00:00

Along the same lines as making devm_led_classdev_register() declared extern unconditional, do the same thing for the two sub-classes that have similar stubs. The users of these interfaces go to great lengths to allow building with both the generic leds API and the extended version, but realistically there is not much use in this, so just simplify it to always rely on it and remove the confusing fallback logic.

leds: multicolor: Introduce a multicolor class definition

2020-07-22T12:41:29+00:00

Introduce a multicolor class that groups colored LEDs within a LED node. The multicolor class groups monochrome LEDs and allows controlling two aspects of the final combined color: hue and lightness. The former is controlled via the intensity file and the latter is controlled via brightness file.
