1====================2Kernel driver lp39443====================4 5 * National Semiconductor LP3944 Fun-light Chip6 7 Prefix: 'lp3944'8 9 Addresses scanned: None (see the Notes section below)10 11 Datasheet:12 13 Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website14 http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html15 16Authors:17 Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>18 19 20Description21-----------22The LP3944 is a helper chip that can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable23DIM modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes it24is used as a led controller.25 26The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is27specified supplying two parameters:28 29 - period:30 from 0s to 1.6s31 - duty cycle:32 percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 10033 34Setting a led in DIM0 or DIM1 mode makes it blink according to the pattern.35See the datasheet for details.36 37LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb38leds, the camera flash light and the lcds power.39 40 41Notes42-----43The chip is used mainly in embedded contexts, so this driver expects it is44registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.45 46To register the chip at address 0x60 on adapter 0, set the platform data47according to include/linux/leds-lp3944.h, set the i2c board info::48 49 static struct i2c_board_info a910_i2c_board_info[] __initdata = {50 {51 I2C_BOARD_INFO("lp3944", 0x60),52 .platform_data = &a910_lp3944_leds,53 },54 };55 56and register it in the platform init function::57 58 i2c_register_board_info(0, a910_i2c_board_info,59 ARRAY_SIZE(a910_i2c_board_info));60
