2 Kernel driver lp855x
3 ====================
5 Backlight driver for LP855x ICs
7 Supported chips:
9         Texas Instruments LP8550, LP8551, LP8552, LP8553, LP8555, LP8556 and
10         LP8557

14 Description
15 -----------
17 * Brightness control
19   Brightness can be controlled by the pwm input or the i2c command.
20   The lp855x driver supports both cases.
22 * Device attributes
24   1) bl_ctl_mode
26   Backlight control mode.
28   Value: pwm based or register based
30   2) chip_id
32   The lp855x chip id.
34   Value: lp8550/lp8551/lp8552/lp8553/lp8555/lp8556/lp8557
36 Platform data for lp855x
37 ------------------------
39 For supporting platform specific data, the lp855x platform data can be used.
41 * name:
42         Backlight driver name. If it is not defined, default name is set.
43 * device_control:
44         Value of DEVICE CONTROL register.
45 * initial_brightness:
46         Initial value of backlight brightness.
47 * period_ns:
48         Platform specific PWM period value. unit is nano.
49         Only valid when brightness is pwm input mode.
50 * size_program:
51         Total size of lp855x_rom_data.
52 * rom_data:
53         List of new eeprom/eprom registers.
55 Examples
56 ========
58 1) lp8552 platform data: i2c register mode with new eeprom data::
60     #define EEPROM_A5_ADDR      0xA5
61     #define EEPROM_A5_VAL       0x4f    /* EN_VSYNC=0 */
63     static struct lp855x_rom_data lp8552_eeprom_arr[] = {
64         {EEPROM_A5_ADDR, EEPROM_A5_VAL},
65     };
67     static struct lp855x_platform_data lp8552_pdata = {
68         .name = "lcd-bl",
69         .device_control = I2C_CONFIG(LP8552),
70         .initial_brightness = INITIAL_BRT,
71         .size_program = ARRAY_SIZE(lp8552_eeprom_arr),
72         .rom_data = lp8552_eeprom_arr,
73     };
75 2) lp8556 platform data: pwm input mode with default rom data::
77     static struct lp855x_platform_data lp8556_pdata = {
78         .device_control = PWM_CONFIG(LP8556),
79         .initial_brightness = INITIAL_BRT,
