Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Extend the LED panic trigger
As per commit 916fe61995 ("leds: trigger: Introduce a kernel panic LED
trigger"), the kernel now supports a new LED trigger to hook on
the panic blink.
However, the only way of using this is to dedicate a LED device
to this function.
To overcome this limitation, the present series introduces the
capability to switch the LED trigger of certain LED devices upon
a kernel panic (using the panic notifier).
The decision of which LEDs should be switched to the panic trigger
is left to each LED device driver. As an example, a devicetree
boolean property is introduced and used in the leds-gpio driver.
Feedback and other ideas on how to implement this are most welcomed.
Ezequiel Garcia (5):
leds: triggers: Allow to switch the trigger to "panic" on a kernel
panic
leds: triggers: Add a led_trigger_event_nosleep API
leds: trigger: panic: Use led_trigger_event_nosleep
devicetree: leds: Introduce "panic-blink" optional property
leds: gpio: Support the panic-blink firmware property
