10Description
11-----------
12LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
13the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
14lp5523:channelx where x is 0...8
15
16The chip provides 3 engines. Each engine can control channels without
17interaction from the main CPU. Details of the micro engine code can be found
18from the public data sheet. Leds can be muxed to different channels.
19
20Control interface for the engines:
21x is 1 .. 3
22enginex_mode : disabled, load, run
23enginex_load : microcode load (visible only in load mode)
24enginex_leds : led mux control (visible only in load mode)

28echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > engine3_load

32sysfs contains a selftest entry. It measures each channel
33voltage level and checks if it looks reasonable. If the level is too high,
34the led is missing; if the level is too low, there is a short circuit.
35
36Selftest uses always the current from the platform data.
37
38Each channel contains led current settings.
39/sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/led_current - RW
40/sys/class/leds/lp5523:channel2/max_current - RO
41Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA

45Note - chan_nr can have values between 0 and 8.
