Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] docs: leds: Document TI LP5812 LED driver

The driver provides sysfs interfaces to control
and configure the LP5812 device and its LED channels.

The documetation describes the chip's capabilities,
sysfs interface, and usage examples.

+========================
+Kernel driver for lp5812
+========================
+
+* TI/National Semiconductor LP5812 LED Driver
+* Datasheet: https://www.ti.com/product/LP5812#tech-docs
+
+Authors: Jared Zhou <jared-zhou@...com>
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The LP5812 is a 4x3 maxtrix LED driver with support for both manual and
+autonomous animation control. It provides features such as:
+
+- PWM dimming and DC current control
+- Slope time configuration
+- Autonomous Engine Unit (AEU) for LED animation playback
+- Flexible scan and drive mode configuration
+
+This driver provides sysfs interfaces to control and configure the LP5812
+device and its LED channels.
+
+Sysfs Interface
+===============
+
+LP5812 device exposes a chip-level sysfs group:
+  /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<i2c-dev-addr>/lp5812_chip_setup/
+
+The following attributes are available at chip level:
+  - device_enable: Enable/disable the device (RW)
+  - dev_config: Configure drive mode and scan order (RW)
+  - device_command: Issue device-wide commands (WO)
+  - device_reset: Reset the device (WO)
+  - fault_clear: Clear any device faults (WO)
+  - tsd_config_status: Read thermal shutdown config status (RO)
+
+Each LED channel is exposed as:
+  /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<i2c-dev-addr>/led_<id>/
+
+Each LED exposes the following attributes:
+  - enable: Enable or disable the LED (RW)
+  - mode: manual or autonomous mode (RW)
+  - manual_dc: DC current value (0–255) (RW)
+  - manual_pwm: PWM duty cycle (0–255) (RW)
+  - autonomous_dc: DC current in autonomous mode (RW)
+  - pwm_dimming_scale: linear or exponential (RW)
+  - pwm_phase_align: PWM alignment mode (RW)
+  - autonomous_animation: Config autonomous animation mode with aeu number, start pause time, stop pause time, playback time (RW)
+  - aep_status: autonomous engine pattern status (RO)
+  - auto_pwm_val: pwm value in autonomous mode when pause the animation (RO)
+  - lod_lsd: lod and lsd fault detected status (RO)
+
+Example Usage
+=============
+
+To control led_A0 in manual mode::
+    echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/lp5812_chip_setup/device_enable
+    echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/enable
+    echo manual > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/mode
+    echo 100 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/manual_dc
+    echo 100 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/manual_pwm
+
+To control led_A0 in autonomous mode::
+    echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/lp5812_chip_setup/device_enable
+    echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/enable
+    echo autonomous > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lp5812/xxxx/led_A0/mode
