13description:
14  LED and flash LED devices provide the same basic functionality as current
15  regulators, but extended with LED and flash LED specific features like
16  blinking patterns, flash timeout, flash faults and external flash strobe mode.
17
18  Many LED devices expose more than one current output that can be connected
19  to one or more discrete LED component. Since the arrangement of connections
20  can influence the way of the LED device initialization, the LED components
21  have to be tightly coupled with the LED device binding. They are represented
22  by child nodes of the parent LED device binding.
23
24properties:
25  led-sources:
26    description:
27      List of device current outputs the LED is connected to. The outputs are
28      identified by the numbers that must be defined in the LED device binding
29      documentation.
30    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32-array
31
32  function:
33    description:
34      LED function. Use one of the LED_FUNCTION_* prefixed definitions
35      from the header include/dt-bindings/leds/common.h. If there is no
36      matching LED_FUNCTION available, add a new one.
37    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/string
38
39  color:
40    description:
41      Color of the LED. Use one of the LED_COLOR_ID_* prefixed definitions from
42      the header include/dt-bindings/leds/common.h. If there is no matching
43      LED_COLOR_ID available, add a new one.

45    minimum: 0
46    maximum: 14
47
48  function-enumerator:
49    description:
50      Integer to be used when more than one instance of the same function is
51      needed, differing only with an ordinal number.
52    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
53
54  label:
55    description:
56      The label for this LED. If omitted, the label is taken from the node name
57      (excluding the unit address). It has to uniquely identify a device, i.e.
58      no other LED class device can be assigned the same label. This property is
59      deprecated - use 'function' and 'color' properties instead.
60      function-enumerator has no effect when this property is present.
61
62  default-state:
63    description:
64      The initial state of the LED. If the LED is already on or off and the
65      default-state property is set the to same value, then no glitch should be
66      produced where the LED momentarily turns off (or on). The "keep" setting
67      will keep the LED at whatever its current state is, without producing a
68      glitch.
69    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/string
70    enum:
71      - on
72      - off

74    default: off

79      the LED.

136  led-pattern:
137    description: |
138      Array of integers with default pattern for certain triggers.
139
140      Each trigger may parse this property differently:
141        - one-shot : two numbers specifying delay on and delay off (in ms),
142        - timer : two numbers specifying delay on and delay off (in ms),
143        - pattern : the pattern is given by a series of tuples, of
144          brightness and duration (in ms).  The exact format is
145          described in:
146          Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-trigger-pattern.txt

151
152  led-max-microamp:
153    description:
154      Maximum LED supply current in microamperes. This property can be made
155      mandatory for the board configurations introducing a risk of hardware
156      damage in case an excessive current is set.
157      For flash LED controllers with configurable current this property is
158      mandatory for the LEDs in the non-flash modes (e.g. torch or indicator).
159
160  max-brightness:
161    description:
162      Normally, the maximum brightness is determined by the hardware, and this
163      property is not required. This property is used to set a software limit.
164      It could happen that an LED is made so bright that it gets damaged or
165      causes damage due to restrictions in a specific system, such as mounting
166      conditions.
167      Note that this flag is mainly used for PWM-LEDs, where it is not possible
168      to map brightness to current. Drivers for other controllers should use
169      led-max-microamp.
170    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
171
172  panic-indicator:
173    description:
174      This property specifies that the LED should be used, if at all possible,
175      as a panic indicator.
176    type: boolean
177
178  retain-state-shutdown:
179    description:
180      This property specifies that the LED should not be turned off or changed
181      when the system shuts down.
182    type: boolean
183
184  trigger-sources:
185    description: |
186      List of devices which should be used as a source triggering this LED
187      activity. Some LEDs can be related to a specific device and should somehow
188      indicate its state. E.g. USB 2.0 LED may react to device(s) in a USB 2.0
189      port(s).
190      Another common example is switch or router with multiple Ethernet ports
191      each of them having its own LED assigned (assuming they are not
192      hardwired). In such cases this property should contain phandle(s) of
193      related source device(s).
194      Another example is a GPIO line that will be monitored and mirror the
195      state of the line (with or without inversion flags) to the LED.
196      In many cases LED can be related to more than one device (e.g. one USB LED
197      vs. multiple USB ports). Each source should be represented by a node in
198      the device tree and be referenced by a phandle and a set of phandle
199      arguments. A length of arguments should be specified by the
200      #trigger-source-cells property in the source node.
201    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle-array
202
203  active-low:
204    type: boolean
205    description:
206      Makes LED active low. To turn the LED ON, line needs to be
207      set to low voltage instead of high.
208
209  inactive-high-impedance:
210    type: boolean
211    description:
212      Set LED to high-impedance mode to turn the LED OFF. LED might also
213      describe this mode as tristate.
214
215  # Required properties for flash LED child nodes:
216  flash-max-microamp:
217    description:
218      Maximum flash LED supply current in microamperes. Required for flash LED
219      nodes with configurable current.
220
221  flash-max-timeout-us:
222    description:
223      Maximum timeout in microseconds after which the flash LED is turned off.
224      Required for flash LED nodes with configurable timeout.
