Subject: [PATCH v7 01/11] leds: add support for hardware driven LEDs
Some LEDs can be driven by hardware (for example a LED connected to
an ethernet PHY or an ethernet switch can be configured to blink on
activity on the network, which in software is done by the netdev trigger).
To do such offloading, LED driver must support this and a supported
trigger must be used.
LED driver should declare the correct blink_mode supported and should set
the blink_mode parameter to one of HARDWARE_CONTROLLED or
SOFTWARE_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED.
The trigger will check this option and fail to activate if the blink_mode
is not supported. By default if a LED driver doesn't declare blink_mode,
SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED is assumed.
The LED must implement 3 main API:
- hw_control_status(): This asks the LED driver if hardware mode is
enabled or not.
Triggers will check if the offload mode is supported and will be
activated accordingly. If the trigger can't run in software mode,
return -EOPNOTSUPP as the blinking can't be simulated by software.
- hw_control_start(): This will simply enable the hardware mode for
the LED.
With this not declared and hw_control_status() returning true,
it's assumed that the LED is always in hardware mode.
- hw_control_stop(): This will simply disable the hardware mode for
the LED.
With this not declared and hw_control_status() returning true,
it's assumed that the LED is always in hardware mode.
It's advised to the driver to put the LED in the old state but this
is not enforcerd and putting the LED off is also accepted.
With HARDWARE_CONTROLLED blink_mode hw_control_status/start/stop is
optional and any software only trigger will reject activation as the LED
supports only hardware mode.
An additional config CONFIG_LEDS_HARDWARE_CONTROL is added to add support
for LEDs that can be controlled by hardware.

+Hardware driven LEDs
+===================================
+
+Some LEDs can be driven by hardware (for example a LED connected to
+an ethernet PHY or an ethernet switch can be configured to blink on activity on
+the network, which in software is done by the netdev trigger).
+
+To do such offloading, LED driver must support this and a supported trigger must
+be used.
+
+LED driver should declare the correct blink_mode supported and should set the
+blink_mode parameter to one of HARDWARE_CONTROLLED or SOFTWARE_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED.
+The trigger will check this option and fail to activate if the blink_mode is not
+supported. By default if a LED driver doesn't declare blink_mode, SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED
+is assumed.
+
+The LED must implement 3 main API:
+- hw_control_status(): This asks the LED driver if hardware mode is enabled
+ or not. Triggers will check if the hardware mode is active and will try
+ to offload their triggers if supported by the driver.
+- hw_control_start(): This will simply enable the hardware mode for the LED.
+- hw_control_stop(): This will simply disable the hardware mode for the LED.
+ It's advised to the driver to put the LED in the old state but this is not
+ enforcerd and putting the LED off is also accepted.
+
+With HARDWARE_CONTROLLED blink_mode hw_control_status/start/stop is optional
+and any software only trigger will reject activation as the LED supports only
+hardware mode.
