Merge tag 'leds-for-5.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/j.anaszewski/linux-leds
Pull LED updates from Jacek Anaszewski:
"LED core fixes and improvements:
- avoid races with workqueue
- Kconfig: pedantic cleanup
- small fixes for Flash class description
leds-lt3593:
- remove unneeded assignment in lt3593_led_probe
- drop pdata handling code
leds-blinkm:
- clean up double assignment to data->i2c_addr
leds-pca955x, leds-pca963x:
- revert ACPI support, as it turned out that there is no evidence
of officially registered ACPI IDs for these devices.
- make use of device property API
leds-as3645a:
- switch to fwnode property API
LED related addition to ACPI documentation:
- document how to refer to LEDs from remote nodes
LED related fix to ALSA line6/toneport driver:
- avoid polluting led_* namespace
And lm3532 driver relocation from MFD to LED subsystem, accompanied by
various improvements and optimizations; it entails also a change in
omap4-droid4-xt894.dts:
- leds: lm3532: Introduce the lm3532 LED driver
- mfd: ti-lmu: Remove LM3532 backlight driver references
- ARM: dts: omap4-droid4: Update backlight dt properties
- dt: lm3532: Add lm3532 dt doc and update ti_lmu doc"

The "reg" property in the LED specific nodes +tells the numerical ID of each individual LED output to which the LEDs are +connected. [3] The hierarchical data nodes are named "led@X", where X is the +number of the LED output. + +Referring to LEDs in Device tree is documented in [4], in "flash-leds" property +documentation. In short, LEDs are directly referred to by using phandles. + +While Device tree allows referring to any node in the tree[1], in ACPI +references are limited to device nodes only [2]. For this reason using the same +mechanism on ACPI is not possible. A mechanism to refer to non-device ACPI nodes +is documented in [7]. + +ACPI allows (as does DT) using integer arguments after the reference. A +combination of the LED driver device reference and an integer argument, +referring to the "reg" property of the relevant LED, is used to identify +individual LEDs. The value of the "reg" property is a contract between the +firmware and software, it uniquely identifies the LED driver outputs. + +Under the LED driver device, The first hierarchical data extension package list +entry shall contain the string "led@" followed by the number of the LED, +followed by the referred object name.
