1LP5521/LP5523/LP55231 Common Driver
2===================================

6Description
7-----------
8LP5521, LP5523/55231 have common features as below.
9
10 Register access via the I2C
11 Device initialization/deinitialization
12 Create LED class devices for multiple output channels
13 Device attributes for user-space interface
14 Program memory for running LED patterns
15
16The LP55xx common driver provides these features using exported functions.
17 lp55xx_init_device() / lp55xx_deinit_device()
18 lp55xx_register_leds() / lp55xx_unregister_leds()
19 lp55xx_regsister_sysfs() / lp55xx_unregister_sysfs()
20
21( Driver Structure Data )
22
23In lp55xx common driver, two different data structure is used.
24
25o lp55xx_led
26 control multi output LED channels such as led current, channel index.
27o lp55xx_chip
28 general chip control such like the I2C and platform data.
29
30For example, LP5521 has maximum 3 LED channels.
31LP5523/55231 has 9 output channels.
32
33lp55xx_chip for LP5521 ... lp55xx_led #1
34 lp55xx_led #2
35 lp55xx_led #3
36
37lp55xx_chip for LP5523 ... lp55xx_led #1
38 lp55xx_led #2
39 .
40 .
41 lp55xx_led #9
42
43( Chip Dependent Code )
44
45To support device specific configurations, special structure
46'lpxx_device_config' is used.
47
48 Maximum number of channels
49 Reset command, chip enable command
50 Chip specific initialization
51 Brightness control register access
52 Setting LED output current
53 Program memory address access for running patterns
54 Additional device specific attributes
55
56( Firmware Interface )
57
58LP55xx family devices have the internal program memory for running
59various LED patterns.
60This pattern data is saved as a file in the user-land or
61hex byte string is written into the memory through the I2C.
62LP55xx common driver supports the firmware interface.
63
64LP55xx chips have three program engines.
65To load and run the pattern, the programming sequence is following.
66 (1) Select an engine number (1/2/3)
67 (2) Mode change to load
68 (3) Write pattern data into selected area
69 (4) Mode change to run
70
71The LP55xx common driver provides simple interfaces as below.
72select_engine : Select which engine is used for running program
73run_engine : Start program which is loaded via the firmware interface
74firmware : Load program data
75
76For example, run blinking pattern in engine #1 of LP5521
77echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
78echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
79echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
80echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
81echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
82
83For example, run blinking pattern in engine #3 of LP55231
84echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
85echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
86echo "9d0740ff7e0040007e00a0010000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/data
87echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
88echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
89
90To start blinking patterns in engine #2 and #3 simultaneously,
91for idx in 2 3
92do
93 echo $idx > /sys/class/leds/red/device/select_engine
94 sleep 0.1
95 echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
96 echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
97 echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
98done
99echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/device/run_engine
100
101Here is another example for LP5523.
102echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
103echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
104echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/data
105echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
106echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
107
108As soon as 'loading' is set to 0, registered callback is called.
109Inside the callback, the selected engine is loaded and memory is updated.
110To run programmed pattern, 'run_engine' attribute should be enabled.
111
112( 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' )
113The sequence of running the program data is common.
114But each device has own specific register addresses for commands.
115To support this, 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' are configurable in each driver.
116run_engine : Control the selected engine
117firmware_cb : The callback function after loading the firmware is done.
118 Chip specific commands for loading and updating program memory.
