leds: core: Fix brightness setting upon hardware blinking enabled

2016-06-08T09:47:06Z

Commit 76931edd54f8 ("leds: fix brightness changing when software blinking is active") changed the semantics of led_set_brightness() which according to the documentation should disable blinking upon any brightness setting. Moreover it made it different for soft blink case, where it was possible to change blink brightness, and for hardware blink case, where setting any brightness greater than 0 was ignored. While the change itself is against the documentation claims, it was driven also by the fact that timer trigger remained active after turning blinking off. Fixing that would have required major refactoring in the led-core, led-class, and led-triggers because of cyclic dependencies. Finally, it has been decided that allowing for brightness change during blinking is beneficial as it can be accomplished without disturbing blink rhythm. The change in brightness setting semantics will not affect existing LED class drivers that implement blink_set op thanks to the LED_BLINK_SW flag introduced by this patch. The flag state will be from now on checked in led_set_brightness() which will allow to distinguish between software and hardware blink mode. In the latter case the control will be passed directly to the drivers which apply their semantics on brightness set, which is disable the blinking in case of most such drivers. New drivers will apply new semantics and just change the brightness while hardware blinking is on, if possible. The issue was smuggled by subsequent LED core improvements, which modified the code that originally introduced the problem.

leds: gpio: Support the "panic-indicator" firmware property

2016-05-06T08:26:07Z

Calling a GPIO LEDs is quite likely to work even if the kernel has paniced, so they are ideal to blink in this situation. This commit adds support for the new "panic-indicator" firmware property, allowing to mark a given LED to blink on a kernel panic.

leds: triggers: Allow to switch the trigger to "panic" on a kernel panic

2016-05-06T08:22:09Z

This commit adds a new led_cdev flag LED_PANIC_INDICATOR, which allows to mark a specific LED to be switched to the "panic" trigger, on a kernel panic. This is useful to allow the user to assign a regular trigger to a given LED, and still blink that LED on a kernel panic.

leds: trigger: Introduce a MTD (NAND/NOR) trigger

2016-04-13T08:23:14Z

This commit introduces a MTD trigger for flash (NAND/NOR) device activity. The implementation is copied from IDE disk. This trigger deprecates the "nand-disk" LED trigger, but for backwards compatibility, we still keep the "nand-disk" trigger around. The motivation for deprecating the "nand-disk" LED trigger is that it only works for NAND drivers, whereas the "mtd" LED trigger is more generic (in fact, "nand-disk" currently only works for certain NAND drivers).

leds: core: avoid error message when a USB LED device is unplugged

2016-03-14T08:22:20Z

When a USB LED device is unplugged the remove call chain calls led_classdev_unregister which tries to switch the LED off. As the device has been removed already this results in a ENODEV error message in dmesg. Avoid this error message by ignoring ENODEV in calls from led_classdev_unregister if the LED device is flagged as pluggable. Therefore a new flag LED_HW_PLUGGABLE was introduced which should be set by all LED drivers handling pluggable LED devices (mainly USB LED devices).

leds: core: fix misleading comment after workqueue removal from drivers

2016-03-14T08:22:20Z

Now that workqueues have been removed from individual drivers and were replaced with a core-internal workqueue we shouldn't encourage people to add new workqueues to drivers. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit Signed-off-by: Jacek Anaszewski

leds: core: add managed version of led_trigger_register

Complementing devm_led_classdev_register add a managed version of led_trigger_register. I omit a managed version of led_classdev_unregister as the equivalent devm_led_classdev_unregister isn't used in the kernel as of today. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit Signed-off-by: Jacek Anaszewski

leds: core: Drivers shouldn't enforce SYNC/ASYNC brightness setting

2016-01-04T08:57:31Z

This patch removes SET_BRIGHTNESS_ASYNC and SET_BRIGHTNESS_SYNC flags. led_set_brightness() now calls led_set_brightness_nosleep() instead of choosing between sync and async op basing on the flags defined by the driver. From now on, if a user wants to make sure that brightness will be set synchronously, they have to use led_set_brightness_sync() API. It is now being made publicly available since it has become apparent that it is a caller who should decide whether brightness is to be set in a synchronous or an asynchronous way.

leds: core: Use set_brightness_work for the blocking op

2016-01-04T08:57:30Z

This patch makes LED core capable of setting brightness for drivers that implement brightness_set_blocking op. It removes from LED class drivers responsibility for using work queues on their own. In order to achieve this set_brightness_delayed callback is being modified to directly call one of available ops for brightness setting. led_set_brightness_async() function didn't set brightness in an asynchronous way in all cases. It was mistakenly assuming that all LED subsystem drivers used work queue in their brightness_set op, whereas only half of them did that. Since it has no users now, it is being removed.

leds: Rename brightness_set_sync op to brightness_set_blocking

2016-01-04T08:57:30Z

The initial purpose of brightness_set_sync op, introduced along with the LED flash class extension, was to add a means for setting torch LED brightness as soon as possible, which couldn't have been guaranteed by brightness_set op. This patch renames the op to brightness_set_blocking, which describes its purpose in a more generic way. It is beneficial in view of the prospective changes in the LED core, aiming at removing the need for using work queues in LED class drivers that can sleep or use delays while setting brightness.
