Description
-----------
LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
the led class control interface.
The name of each channel is configurable in the platform data - name and label.
There are three options to make the channel name.

a) Define the 'name' in the platform data

To make specific channel name, then use 'name' platform data.

- /sys/class/leds/R1               (name: 'R1')
- /sys/class/leds/B1               (name: 'B1')

b) Use the 'label' with no 'name' field

For one device name with channel number, then use 'label'.
- /sys/class/leds/RGB:channelN     (label: 'RGB', N: 0 ~ 8)

c) Default

If both fields are NULL, 'lp5523' is used by default.
- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channelN  (N: 0 ~ 8)

LP5523 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
There are two ways to run LED patterns.

1) Legacy interface - enginex_mode, enginex_load and enginex_leds

  Control interface for the engines:

  x is 1 .. 3

  enginex_mode:
	disabled, load, run
  enginex_load:
	microcode load
  enginex_leds:
	led mux control

  ::

	cd /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/device
	echo "load" > engine3_mode
	echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > engine3_load
	echo "111111111" > engine3_leds
	echo "run" > engine3_mode

  To stop the engine::

	echo "disabled" > engine3_mode

2) Firmware interface - LP55xx common interface

For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt

LP5523 has three master faders. If a channel is mapped to one of
the master faders, its output is dimmed based on the value of the master
fader.

For example::

  echo "123000123" > master_fader_leds

creates the following channel-fader mappings::

  channel 0,6 to master_fader1
  channel 1,7 to master_fader2
  channel 2,8 to master_fader3

Then, to have 25% of the original output on channel 0,6::

  echo 64 > master_fader1

To have 0% of the original output (i.e. no output) channel 1,7::

  echo 0 > master_fader2

To have 100% of the original output (i.e. no dimming) on channel 2,8::

  echo 255 > master_fader3

To clear all master fader controls::

  echo "000000000" > master_fader_leds

Selftest uses always the current from the platform data.

Each channel contains led current settings.
- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/led_current - RW
- /sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/max_current - RO

Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA

Example platform data::

	static struct lp55xx_led_config lp5523_led_config[] = {
		{
			.name		= "D1",
			.chan_nr        = 0,
			.led_current    = 50,
			.max_current    = 130,
		},
	...
		{
			.chan_nr        = 8,
			.led_current    = 50,
			.max_current    = 130,
		}
	};

	static int lp5523_setup(void)
	{
		/* Setup HW resources */
	}

	static void lp5523_release(void)
	{
		/* Release HW resources */
	}

	static void lp5523_enable(bool state)
	{
		/* Control chip enable signal */
	}

	static struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5523_platform_data = {
		.led_config     = lp5523_led_config,
		.num_channels   = ARRAY_SIZE(lp5523_led_config),
		.clock_mode     = LP55XX_CLOCK_EXT,
		.setup_resources   = lp5523_setup,
		.release_resources = lp5523_release,
		.enable            = lp5523_enable,
	};

Note
  chan_nr can have values between 0 and 8.
