Merge branch 'master' into for-next
Pull linus#master to merge PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES and alpha build fix
changes. As alpha in percpu tree uses 'weak' attribute instead of
inline assembly, there's no need for __used attribute.
Conflicts:
arch/alpha/include/asm/percpu.h
arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
include/linux/percpu-defs.h

4 | * National Semiconductor LP3944 Fun-light Chip | ||
5 | Prefix: 'lp3944' | ||
6 | Addresses scanned: None (see the Notes section below) | ||
7 | Datasheet: Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website | ||

14 | Description | ||
15 | ----------- | ||
16 | The LP3944 is a helper chip that can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable | ||
17 | DIM modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes it | ||
18 | is used as a led controller. | ||
19 | |||
20 | The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is | ||
21 | specified supplying two parameters: | ||
22 | - period: from 0s to 1.6s | ||
23 | - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100 | ||
24 | |||
25 | Setting a led in DIM0 or DIM1 mode makes it blink according to the pattern. | ||
26 | See the datasheet for details. | ||
27 | |||
28 | LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb | ||
29 | leds, the camera flash light and the lcds power. | ||

32 | Notes | ||
33 | ----- | ||
34 | The chip is used mainly in embedded contexts, so this driver expects it is | ||
35 | registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism. | ||
36 | |||
37 | To register the chip at address 0x60 on adapter 0, set the platform data | ||
38 | according to include/linux/leds-lp3944.h, set the i2c board info: | ||
39 | |||
40 | static struct i2c_board_info __initdata a910_i2c_board_info[] = { | ||
41 | { | ||
42 | I2C_BOARD_INFO("lp3944", 0x60), | ||
43 | .platform_data = &a910_lp3944_leds, | ||
44 | }, | ||
45 | }; | ||
46 | |||
47 | and register it in the platform init function | ||
48 | |||
49 | i2c_register_board_info(0, a910_i2c_board_info, | ||
50 | ARRAY_SIZE(a910_i2c_board_info)); | ||
