[PATCH v6 16/17] pwm-backlight: Add rudimentary device tree support

Thierry Reding thierry.reding at avionic-design.de
Tue Apr 10 11:06:39 EDT 2012


This commit adds very basic support for device tree probing. Currently,
only a PWM and a list of distinct brightness levels can be specified.
Enabling or disabling backlight power via GPIOs is not yet supported.

Changes in v6:
- don't pass consumer name to pwm_get() because we don't need multiple
  PWM devices
- drop num-brightness-levels property because it can be derived from
  the brightness-levels property itself

Changes in v5:
- use "pwms" fixed property name
- document brightness-levels and default-brightness-level properties
- check default-brightness-level against brightness-levels
- use new PWM API (pwm_get() and pwm_put()), legacy API (pwm_request())
  as fallback

Changes in v4:
- store a PWM requested with of_pwm_request() in the platform data

Changes in v3:
- use a list of distinct brightness levels instead of a linear range
  as discussed with Stephen Warren and Mitch Bradley

Changes in v2:
- avoid oops by keeping a reference to the platform-specific exit()
  callback

TODO:
- add fixed-regulator support for backlight enable/disable

+pwm-backlight bindings
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: "pwm-backlight"
+  - pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding[0])
+  - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. Typically these
+      are in the range from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do.
+      The actual brightness level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated
+      from these values. 0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the
+      last value in the array represents a 100% duty cycle (brightest).
+  - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (index into the
+      array defined by the "brightness-levels" property)
+
+Optional properties:
+  - pwm-names: a list of names for the PWM devices specified in the
+               "pwms" property (see PWM binding[0])
+
+[0]: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm.txt
+
+Example:
+
+	backlight {
+		compatible = "pwm-backlight";
+		pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>;
+
+		brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;
+		default-brightness-level = <6>;
+	};
