14Description
15-----------
16There are 3 functions in LM3556, Flash, Torch and Indicator.
17
18Flash Mode
19^^^^^^^^^^
20
21In Flash Mode, the LED current source(LED) provides 16 target current levels
22from 93.75 mA to 1500 mA.The Flash currents are adjusted via the CURRENT
23CONTROL REGISTER(0x09).Flash mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A),
24or by pulling the STROBE pin HIGH.
25
26LM3556 Flash can be controlled through /sys/class/leds/flash/brightness file
27
28* if STROBE pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, and
29  ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin.
30
31Flash Example:
32
33OFF::
34
35	#echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
36
3793.75 mA::
38
39	#echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
40
41...
42
431500  mA::
44
45	#echo 16 > /sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
46
47Torch Mode
48^^^^^^^^^^
49
50In Torch Mode, the current source(LED) is programmed via the CURRENT CONTROL
51REGISTER(0x09).Torch Mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A) or by the
52hardware TORCH input.
53
54LM3556 torch can be controlled through /sys/class/leds/torch/brightness file.
55* if TORCH pin is enabled, below example control brightness only,
56and ON / OFF will be controlled by TORCH pin.
57
58Torch Example:
59
60OFF::
61
62	#echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
63
6446.88 mA::
65
66	#echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
67
68...
69
70375 mA::
71
72	#echo 8 > /sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
73
74Indicator Mode
75^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
76
77Indicator pattern can be set through /sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern file,
78and 4 patterns are pre-defined in indicator_pattern array.
79
80According to N-lank, Pulse time and N Period values, different pattern wiill
81be generated.If you want new patterns for your own device, change
82indicator_pattern array with your own values and INDIC_PATTERN_SIZE.
83
84Please refer datasheet for more detail about N-Blank, Pulse time and N Period.
85
86Indicator pattern example:
87
88pattern 0::
89
90	#echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
91
92...
93
94pattern 3::
95
96	#echo 3 > /sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
97
98Indicator brightness can be controlled through
99sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness file.
100
101Example:
102
103OFF::
104
105	#echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
106
1075.86 mA::
108
109	#echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
110
111...
112
11346.875mA::
114
115	#echo 8 > /sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
116
117Notes
118-----
119Driver expects it is registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.
120To register the chip at address 0x63 on specific adapter, set the platform data
121according to include/linux/platform_data/leds-lm3556.h, set the i2c board info
122
123Example::
124
125	static struct i2c_board_info board_i2c_ch4[] __initdata = {
126		{
127			 I2C_BOARD_INFO(LM3556_NAME, 0x63),
128			 .platform_data = &lm3556_pdata,
129		 },
130	};
131
132and register it in the platform init function
133
134Example::
135
136	board_register_i2c_bus(4, 400,
137				board_i2c_ch4, ARRAY_SIZE(board_i2c_ch4));
