+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a hardware pattern for the SC27XX LED. For the SC27XX
+ LED controller, it only supports 4 stages to make a single
+ hardware pattern, which is used to configure the rise time,
+ high time, fall time and low time for the breathing mode.
+
+ For the breathing mode, the SC27XX LED only expects one brightness
+ for the high stage. To be compatible with the hardware pattern
+ format, we should set brightness as 0 for rise stage, fall
+ stage and low stage.
+
+ Min stage duration: 125 ms
+ Max stage duration: 31875 ms
+
+ Since the stage duration step is 125 ms, the duration should be
+ a multiplier of 125, like 125ms, 250ms, 375ms, 500ms ... 31875ms.
+
+ Thus the format of the hardware pattern values should be:
+ "0 rise_duration brightness high_duration 0 fall_duration 0 low_duration".

+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+ the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+ timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
+
+ The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
+ duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and
+ each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
+ 0 means brightness should immediately change to new value, and
+ writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one.
+
+ 1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50
+ milliseconds. So the tuple with duration less than dimming
+ interval (50ms) is treated as a step change of brightness,
+ i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without adding
+ intervening dimming intervals.
+
+ The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be:
+ "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3
+ duration_3 ...". For example:
+
+ echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
+
+ It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255)
+ intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000
+ milliseconds:
+
+ LED brightness
+ ^
+ 255-| / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ 0-| / \/ \/
+ +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+ 2. To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+ we should use use zero-time lengths (the brightness must be same as
+ the previous tuple's). So the format should be:
+ "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_1 0 brightness_2 duration_2
+ brightness_2 0 ...". For example:
+
+ echo 0 1000 0 0 255 2000 255 0 > pattern
+
+ It will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
+ for two seconds:
+
+ LED brightness
+ ^
+ 255-| +---------+ +---------+

+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
+ supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
+ to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active
+ software pattern.
+
+ Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
+ hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
+ description for the hardware patterns in their ABI documentation
+ file.

+* Panasonic AN30259A 3-channel LED driver
+
+The AN30259A is a LED controller capable of driving three LEDs independently. It supports
+constant current output and sloping current output modes. The chip is connected over I2C.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: Must be "panasonic,an30259a".
+ - reg: I2C slave address.
+ - #address-cells: Must be 1.
+ - #size-cells: Must be 0.
+
+Each LED is represented as a sub-node of the panasonic,an30259a node.
+
+Required sub-node properties:
+ - reg: Pin that the LED is connected to. Must be 1, 2, or 3.
+
+Optional sub-node properties:
+ - label: see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt
+ - linux,default-trigger: see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt
+
+Example:
+led-controller@30 {
+ compatible = "panasonic,an30259a";
+ reg = <0x30>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ led@1 {
+ reg = <1>;
+ linux,default-trigger = "heartbeat";
+ label = "red:indicator";
+ };
+
+ led@2 {
+ reg = <2>;
+ label = "green:indicator";
+ };
+
+ led@3 {
+ reg = <3>;
+ label = "blue:indicator";
+ };
+};
