+The leds-blinkm driver supports the devices of the BlinkM family.
+
+They are RGB-LED modules driven by a (AT)tiny microcontroller and
+communicate through I2C. The default address of these modules is
+0x09 but this can be changed through a command. By this you could
+dasy-chain up to 127 BlinkMs on an I2C bus.
+
+The device accepts RGB and HSB color values through separate commands.
+Also you can store blinking sequences as "scripts" in
+the controller and run them. Also fading is an option.
+
+The interface this driver provides is 2-fold:
+
+a) LED class interface for use with triggers
+############################################
+
+The registration follows the scheme:
+blinkm-<i2c-bus-nr>-<i2c-device-nr>-<color>
+
+$ ls -h /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-*
+/sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-blue:

+
+/sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-red:
+brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent
+
+(same is /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/leds)
+
+We can control the colors separated into red, green and blue and
+assign triggers on each color.
+
+E.g.:
+
+$ cat blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness
+05
+
+$ echo 200 > blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness
+$
+
+$ modprobe ledtrig-heartbeat
+$ echo heartbeat > blinkm-6-9-green/trigger
+$
+
+
+b) Sysfs group to control rgb, fade, hsb, scripts ...
+#####################################################
+
+This extended interface is available as folder blinkm
+in the sysfs folder of the I2C device.
+E.g. below /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm
+
+$ ls -h /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm/
+blue green red test
+
+Currently supported is just setting red, green, blue
+and a test sequence.

+Flash LED handling under Linux
+==============================
+
+Some LED devices provide two modes - torch and flash. In the LED subsystem
+those modes are supported by LED class (see Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt)
+and LED Flash class respectively. The torch mode related features are enabled
+by default and the flash ones only if a driver declares it by setting
+LED_DEV_CAP_FLASH flag.
+
+In order to enable the support for flash LEDs CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_FLASH symbol
+must be defined in the kernel config. A LED Flash class driver must be
+registered in the LED subsystem with led_classdev_flash_register function.
+
+Following sysfs attributes are exposed for controlling flash LED devices:
+(see Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-flash)
+ - flash_brightness
+ - max_flash_brightness
+ - flash_timeout
+ - max_flash_timeout
+ - flash_strobe
+ - flash_fault

+
+LED handling under Linux
+========================
+
+If you're reading this and thinking about keyboard leds, these are
+handled by the input subsystem and the led class is *not* needed.
+
+In its simplest form, the LED class just allows control of LEDs from
+userspace. LEDs appear in /sys/class/leds/. The maximum brightness of the
+LED is defined in max_brightness file. The brightness file will set the brightness
+of the LED (taking a value 0-max_brightness). Most LEDs don't have hardware
+brightness support so will just be turned on for non-zero brightness settings.
+
+The class also introduces the optional concept of an LED trigger. A trigger
+is a kernel based source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or
+complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into
+existing subsystems with minimal additional code. Examples are the ide-disk,
+nand-disk and sharpsl-charge triggers. With led triggers disabled, the code
+optimises away.
+
+Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific
+parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example.
+The timer trigger will periodically change the LED brightness between
+LED_OFF and the current brightness setting. The "on" and "off" time can
+be specified via /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_{on,off} in milliseconds.
+You can change the brightness value of a LED independently of the timer
+trigger. However, if you set the brightness value to LED_OFF it will
+also disable the timer trigger.
+
+You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler
+is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/<device>/trigger). Trigger specific
+parameters can appear in /sys/class/leds/<device> once a given trigger is
+selected.
+
+
+Design Philosophy
+=================
+
+The underlying design philosophy is simplicity. LEDs are simple devices
+and the aim is to keep a small amount of code giving as much functionality
+as possible. Please keep this in mind when suggesting enhancements.
+
+
+LED Device Naming
+=================
+
+Is currently of the form:
+
+"devicename:colour:function"
+
+There have been calls for LED properties such as colour to be exported as
+individual led class attributes. As a solution which doesn't incur as much
+overhead, I suggest these become part of the device name. The naming scheme
+above leaves scope for further attributes should they be needed. If sections
+of the name don't apply, just leave that section blank.
+
+
+Hardware accelerated blink of LEDs
+==================================
+
+Some LEDs can be programmed to blink without any CPU interaction. To
+support this feature, a LED driver can optionally implement the
+blink_set() function (see <linux/leds.h>). To set an LED to blinking,
+however, it is better to use the API function led_blink_set(), as it
+will check and implement software fallback if necessary.
+
+To turn off blinking again, use the API function led_brightness_set()
+as that will not just set the LED brightness but also stop any software
+timers that may have been required for blinking.
+
+The blink_set() function should choose a user friendly blinking value
+if it is called with *delay_on==0 && *delay_off==0 parameters. In this
+case the driver should give back the chosen value through delay_on and
+delay_off parameters to the leds subsystem.
+
+Setting the brightness to zero with brightness_set() callback function
+should completely turn off the LED and cancel the previously programmed
+hardware blinking function, if any.
+
+
+Known Issues
+============
+
+The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions
+would cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue
+compared to the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The
+rest of the LED subsystem can be modular.
+
+
+Future Development
+==================
+
+At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED.
+There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a
+particular LED (ACPI?). The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver
+should cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the
+current interface.

+Kernel driver for lm3556
+========================
+
+*Texas Instrument:
+ 1.5 A Synchronous Boost LED Flash Driver w/ High-Side Current Source
+* Datasheet: http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM3556.pdf
+
+Authors:
+ Daniel Jeong
+ Contact:Daniel Jeong(daniel.jeong-at-ti.com, gshark.jeong-at-gmail.com)
+
+Description
+-----------
+There are 3 functions in LM3556, Flash, Torch and Indicator.
+
+FLASH MODE
+In Flash Mode, the LED current source(LED) provides 16 target current levels
+from 93.75 mA to 1500 mA.The Flash currents are adjusted via the CURRENT
+CONTROL REGISTER(0x09).Flash mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A),
+or by pulling the STROBE pin HIGH.
+LM3556 Flash can be controlled through sys/class/leds/flash/brightness file
+* if STROBE pin is enabled, below example control brightness only, and
+ON / OFF will be controlled by STROBE pin.
+
+Flash Example:
+OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+93.75 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+... .....
+1500 mA: #echo 16 > sys/class/leds/flash/brightness
+
+TORCH MODE
+In Torch Mode, the current source(LED) is programmed via the CURRENT CONTROL
+REGISTER(0x09).Torch Mode is activated by the ENABLE REGISTER(0x0A) or by the
+hardware TORCH input.
+LM3556 torch can be controlled through sys/class/leds/torch/brightness file.
+* if TORCH pin is enabled, below example control brightness only,
+and ON / OFF will be controlled by TORCH pin.
+
+Torch Example:
+OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+46.88 mA: #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+... .....
+375 mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/torch/brightness
+
+INDICATOR MODE
+Indicator pattern can be set through sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern file,
+and 4 patterns are pre-defined in indicator_pattern array.
+According to N-lank, Pulse time and N Period values, different pattern wiill
+be generated.If you want new patterns for your own device, change
+indicator_pattern array with your own values and INDIC_PATTERN_SIZE.
+Please refer datasheet for more detail about N-Blank, Pulse time and N Period.
+
+Indicator pattern example:
+pattern 0: #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+....
+pattern 3: #echo 3 > sys/class/leds/indicator/pattern
+
+Indicator brightness can be controlled through
+sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness file.
+
+Example:
+OFF : #echo 0 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+5.86 mA : #echo 1 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+........
+46.875mA : #echo 8 > sys/class/leds/indicator/brightness
+
+Notes
+-----
+Driver expects it is registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.
+To register the chip at address 0x63 on specific adapter, set the platform data
+according to include/linux/platform_data/leds-lm3556.h, set the i2c board info
+
+Example:
+ static struct i2c_board_info board_i2c_ch4[] __initdata = {
+ {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO(LM3556_NAME, 0x63),
+ .platform_data = &lm3556_pdata,
+ },
+ };
+
+and register it in the platform init function
+
+Example:
+ board_register_i2c_bus(4, 400,
+ board_i2c_ch4, ARRAY_SIZE(board_i2c_ch4));

+Kernel driver lp3944
+====================
+
+ * National Semiconductor LP3944 Fun-light Chip
+ Prefix: 'lp3944'
+ Addresses scanned: None (see the Notes section below)
+ Datasheet: Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website
+ http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html
+
+Authors:
+ Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+The LP3944 is a helper chip that can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable
+DIM modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes it
+is used as a led controller.
+
+The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is
+specified supplying two parameters:
+ - period: from 0s to 1.6s
+ - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100
+
+Setting a led in DIM0 or DIM1 mode makes it blink according to the pattern.
+See the datasheet for details.
+
+LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb
+leds, the camera flash light and the lcds power.
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+The chip is used mainly in embedded contexts, so this driver expects it is
+registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.
+
+To register the chip at address 0x60 on adapter 0, set the platform data
+according to include/linux/leds-lp3944.h, set the i2c board info:
+
+ static struct i2c_board_info a910_i2c_board_info[] __initdata = {
+ {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("lp3944", 0x60),
+ .platform_data = &a910_lp3944_leds,
+ },
+ };
+
+and register it in the platform init function
+
+ i2c_register_board_info(0, a910_i2c_board_info,
+ ARRAY_SIZE(a910_i2c_board_info));

+Kernel driver for LP5562
+========================
+
+* TI LP5562 LED Driver
+
+Author: Milo(Woogyom) Kim <milo.kim@ti.com>
+
+Description
+
+ LP5562 can drive up to 4 channels. R/G/B and White.
+ LEDs can be controlled directly via the led class control interface.
+
+ All four channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
+ LP5562 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+ For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+Device attribute: engine_mux
+
+ 3 Engines are allocated in LP5562, but the number of channel is 4.
+ Therefore each channel should be mapped to the engine number.
+ Value : RGB or W
+
+ This attribute is used for programming LED data with the firmware interface.
+ Unlike the LP5521/LP5523/55231, LP5562 has unique feature for the engine mux,
+ so additional sysfs is required.
+
+ LED Map
+ Red ... Engine 1 (fixed)
+ Green ... Engine 2 (fixed)
+ Blue ... Engine 3 (fixed)
+ White ... Engine 1 or 2 or 3 (selective)
+
+How to load the program data using engine_mux
+
+ Before loading the LP5562 program data, engine_mux should be written between
+ the engine selection and loading the firmware.
+ Engine mux has two different mode, RGB and W.
+ RGB is used for loading RGB program data, W is used for W program data.
+
+ For example, run blinking green channel pattern,
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine # 2 is for green channel

+ The 'led_current' and 'max_current' are used.
+
+(Example of Platform data)
+

+LP5521/LP5523/LP55231/LP5562/LP8501 Common Driver
+=================================================
+
+Authors: Milo(Woogyom) Kim <milo.kim@ti.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+LP5521, LP5523/55231, LP5562 and LP8501 have common features as below.
+
+ Register access via the I2C
+ Device initialization/deinitialization
+ Create LED class devices for multiple output channels
+ Device attributes for user-space interface
+ Program memory for running LED patterns
+
+The LP55xx common driver provides these features using exported functions.
+ lp55xx_init_device() / lp55xx_deinit_device()
+ lp55xx_register_leds() / lp55xx_unregister_leds()
+ lp55xx_regsister_sysfs() / lp55xx_unregister_sysfs()
+
+( Driver Structure Data )
+
+In lp55xx common driver, two different data structure is used.
+
+o lp55xx_led
+ control multi output LED channels such as led current, channel index.
+o lp55xx_chip
+ general chip control such like the I2C and platform data.
+
+For example, LP5521 has maximum 3 LED channels.
+LP5523/55231 has 9 output channels.
+
+lp55xx_chip for LP5521 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ lp55xx_led #3
+
+lp55xx_chip for LP5523 ... lp55xx_led #1
+ lp55xx_led #2
+ .
+ .
+ lp55xx_led #9
+
+( Chip Dependent Code )
+
+To support device specific configurations, special structure
+'lpxx_device_config' is used.
+
+ Maximum number of channels
+ Reset command, chip enable command
+ Chip specific initialization
+ Brightness control register access
+ Setting LED output current
+ Program memory address access for running patterns
+ Additional device specific attributes
+
+( Firmware Interface )
+
+LP55xx family devices have the internal program memory for running
+various LED patterns.
+This pattern data is saved as a file in the user-land or
+hex byte string is written into the memory through the I2C.
+LP55xx common driver supports the firmware interface.
+
+LP55xx chips have three program engines.
+To load and run the pattern, the programming sequence is following.
+ (1) Select an engine number (1/2/3)
+ (2) Mode change to load
+ (3) Write pattern data into selected area
+ (4) Mode change to run
+
+The LP55xx common driver provides simple interfaces as below.
+select_engine : Select which engine is used for running program
+run_engine : Start program which is loaded via the firmware interface
+firmware : Load program data
+
+In case of LP5523, one more command is required, 'enginex_leds'.
+It is used for selecting LED output(s) at each engine number.
+In more details, please refer to 'leds-lp5523.txt'.
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #1 of LP5521
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+For example, run blinking pattern in engine #3 of LP55231
+Two LEDs are configured as pattern output channels.
+echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+echo "9d0740ff7e0040007e00a0010000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/data
+echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp55231/loading
+echo "000001100" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine3_leds
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+To start blinking patterns in engine #2 and #3 simultaneously,
+for idx in 2 3
+do
+ echo $idx > /sys/class/leds/red/device/select_engine
+ sleep 0.1
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+ echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
+done
+echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/device/run_engine
+
+Here is another example for LP5523.
+Full LED strings are selected by 'engine2_leds'.
+echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+echo "9d80400004ff05ff437f0000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/data
+echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5523/loading
+echo "111111111" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine2_leds
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+As soon as 'loading' is set to 0, registered callback is called.
+Inside the callback, the selected engine is loaded and memory is updated.
+To run programmed pattern, 'run_engine' attribute should be enabled.
+
+The pattern sqeuence of LP8501 is similar to LP5523.
+However pattern data is specific.
+Ex 1) Engine 1 is used
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+echo "9d0140ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
+
+Ex 2) Engine 2 and 3 are used at the same time
+echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+sleep 1
+echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+echo "9d0140ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+sleep 1
+echo 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
+sleep 1
+echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+echo "9d0340ff7e0040007e00a001c000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/data
+echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp8501/loading
+sleep 1
+echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/d1/device/run_engine
+
+( 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' )
+The sequence of running the program data is common.
+But each device has own specific register addresses for commands.
+To support this, 'run_engine' and 'firmware_cb' are configurable in each driver.
+run_engine : Control the selected engine
+firmware_cb : The callback function after loading the firmware is done.
+ Chip specific commands for loading and updating program memory.
+
+( Predefined pattern data )
+
+Without the firmware interface, LP55xx driver provides another method for
+loading a LED pattern. That is 'predefined' pattern.
+A predefined pattern is defined in the platform data and load it(or them)
+via the sysfs if needed.
+To use the predefined pattern concept, 'patterns' and 'num_patterns' should be
+configured.
+
+ Example of predefined pattern data:
+
+ /* mode_1: blinking data */
+ static const u8 mode_1[] = {
+ 0x40, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, 0x40, 0xFF, 0x60, 0x00,
+ };
+
+ /* mode_2: always on */
+ static const u8 mode_2[] = { 0x40, 0xFF, };
+
+ struct lp55xx_predef_pattern board_led_patterns[] = {
+ {
+ .r = mode_1,
+ .size_r = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_1),
+ },
+ {
+ .b = mode_2,
+ .size_b = ARRAY_SIZE(mode_2),
+ },
+ }
+
+ struct lp55xx_platform_data lp5562_pdata = {
+ ...
+ .patterns = board_led_patterns,
+ .num_patterns = ARRAY_SIZE(board_led_patterns),
+ };
+
+Then, mode_1 and mode_2 can be run via through the sysfs.
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # red blinking LED pattern
+ echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern # blue LED always on
+
+To stop running pattern,
+ echo 0 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/led_pattern

+One-shot LED Trigger
+====================
+
+This is a LED trigger useful for signaling the user of an event where there are
+no clear trap points to put standard led-on and led-off settings. Using this
+trigger, the application needs only to signal the trigger when an event has
+happened, than the trigger turns the LED on and than keeps it off for a
+specified amount of time.
+
+This trigger is meant to be usable both for sporadic and dense events. In the
+first case, the trigger produces a clear single controlled blink for each
+event, while in the latter it keeps blinking at constant rate, as to signal
+that the events are arriving continuously.
+
+A one-shot LED only stays in a constant state when there are no events. An
+additional "invert" property specifies if the LED has to stay off (normal) or
+on (inverted) when not rearmed.
+
+The trigger can be activated from user space on led class devices as shown
+below:
+
+ echo oneshot > trigger
+
+This adds the following sysfs attributes to the LED:
+
+ delay_on - specifies for how many milliseconds the LED has to stay at
+ LED_FULL brightness after it has been armed.
+ Default to 100 ms.
+
+ delay_off - specifies for how many milliseconds the LED has to stay at
+ LED_OFF brightness after it has been armed.
+ Default to 100 ms.
+
+ invert - reverse the blink logic. If set to 0 (default) blink on for delay_on
+ ms, then blink off for delay_off ms, leaving the LED normally off. If
+ set to 1, blink off for delay_off ms, then blink on for delay_on ms,
+ leaving the LED normally on.
+ Setting this value also immediately change the LED state.
+
+ shot - write any non-empty string to signal an events, this starts a blink
+ sequence if not already running.
+
+Example use-case: network devices, initialization:
+
+ echo oneshot > trigger # set trigger for this led
+ echo 33 > delay_on # blink at 1 / (33 + 33) Hz on continuous traffic
+ echo 33 > delay_off
+
+interface goes up:
+
+ echo 1 > invert # set led as normally-on, turn the led on
+
+packet received/transmitted:
+
+ echo 1 > shot # led starts blinking, ignored if already blinking
+
+interface goes down
+
+ echo 0 > invert # set led as normally-off, turn the led off

+LED Transient Trigger
+=====================
+
+The leds timer trigger does not currently have an interface to activate
+a one shot timer. The current support allows for setting two timers, one for
+specifying how long a state to be on, and the second for how long the state
+to be off. The delay_on value specifies the time period an LED should stay
+in on state, followed by a delay_off value that specifies how long the LED
+should stay in off state. The on and off cycle repeats until the trigger
+gets deactivated. There is no provision for one time activation to implement
+features that require an on or off state to be held just once and then stay in
+the original state forever.
+
+Without one shot timer interface, user space can still use timer trigger to
+set a timer to hold a state, however when user space application crashes or
+goes away without deactivating the timer, the hardware will be left in that
+state permanently.
+
+As a specific example of this use-case, let's look at vibrate feature on
+phones. Vibrate function on phones is implemented using PWM pins on SoC or
+PMIC. There is a need to activate one shot timer to control the vibrate
+feature, to prevent user space crashes leaving the phone in vibrate mode
+permanently causing the battery to drain.
+
+Transient trigger addresses the need for one shot timer activation. The
+transient trigger can be enabled and disabled just like the other leds
+triggers.
+
+When an led class device driver registers itself, it can specify all leds
+triggers it supports and a default trigger. During registration, activation
+routine for the default trigger gets called. During registration of an led
+class device, the LED state does not change.
+
+When the driver unregisters, deactivation routine for the currently active
+trigger will be called, and LED state is changed to LED_OFF.
+
+Driver suspend changes the LED state to LED_OFF and resume doesn't change
+the state. Please note that there is no explicit interaction between the
+suspend and resume actions and the currently enabled trigger. LED state
+changes are suspended while the driver is in suspend state. Any timers
+that are active at the time driver gets suspended, continue to run, without
+being able to actually change the LED state. Once driver is resumed, triggers
+start functioning again.
+
+LED state changes are controlled using brightness which is a common led
+class device property. When brightness is set to 0 from user space via
+echo 0 > brightness, it will result in deactivating the current trigger.
+
+Transient trigger uses standard register and unregister interfaces. During
+trigger registration, for each led class device that specifies this trigger
+as its default trigger, trigger activation routine will get called. During
+registration, the LED state does not change, unless there is another trigger
+active, in which case LED state changes to LED_OFF.
+
+During trigger unregistration, LED state gets changed to LED_OFF.
+
+Transient trigger activation routine doesn't change the LED state. It
+creates its properties and does its initialization. Transient trigger
+deactivation routine, will cancel any timer that is active before it cleans
+up and removes the properties it created. It will restore the LED state to
+non-transient state. When driver gets suspended, irrespective of the transient
+state, the LED state changes to LED_OFF.
+
+Transient trigger can be enabled and disabled from user space on led class
+devices, that support this trigger as shown below:
+
+echo transient > trigger
+echo none > trigger
+
+NOTE: Add a new property trigger state to control the state.
+
+This trigger exports three properties, activate, state, and duration. When
+transient trigger is activated these properties are set to default values.
+
+- duration allows setting timer value in msecs. The initial value is 0.
+- activate allows activating and deactivating the timer specified by
+ duration as needed. The initial and default value is 0. This will allow
+ duration to be set after trigger activation.
+- state allows user to specify a transient state to be held for the specified
+ duration.
+
+ activate - one shot timer activate mechanism.
+ 1 when activated, 0 when deactivated.
+ default value is zero when transient trigger is enabled,
+ to allow duration to be set.
+
+ activate state indicates a timer with a value of specified
+ duration running.
+ deactivated state indicates that there is no active timer
+ running.
+
+ duration - one shot timer value. When activate is set, duration value
+ is used to start a timer that runs once. This value doesn't
+ get changed by the trigger unless user does a set via
+ echo new_value > duration
+
+ state - transient state to be held. It has two values 0 or 1. 0 maps
+ to LED_OFF and 1 maps to LED_FULL. The specified state is
+ held for the duration of the one shot timer and then the
+ state gets changed to the non-transient state which is the
+ inverse of transient state.
+ If state = LED_FULL, when the timer runs out the state will
+ go back to LED_OFF.
+ If state = LED_OFF, when the timer runs out the state will
+ go back to LED_FULL.
+ Please note that current LED state is not checked prior to
+ changing the state to the specified state.
+ Driver could map these values to inverted depending on the
+ default states it defines for the LED in its brightness_set()
+ interface which is called from the led brightness_set()
+ interfaces to control the LED state.
+
+When timer expires activate goes back to deactivated state, duration is left
+at the set value to be used when activate is set at a future time. This will
+allow user app to set the time once and activate it to run it once for the
+specified value as needed. When timer expires, state is restored to the
+non-transient state which is the inverse of the transient state.
+
+ echo 1 > activate - starts timer = duration when duration is not 0.
+ echo 0 > activate - cancels currently running timer.
+ echo n > duration - stores timer value to be used upon next
+ activate. Currently active timer if
+ any, continues to run for the specified time.
+ echo 0 > duration - stores timer value to be used upon next
+ activate. Currently active timer if any,
+ continues to run for the specified time.
+ echo 1 > state - stores desired transient state LED_FULL to be
+ held for the specified duration.
+ echo 0 > state - stores desired transient state LED_OFF to be
+ held for the specified duration.
+
+What is not supported:
+======================
+- Timer activation is one shot and extending and/or shortening the timer
+ is not supported.
+
+Example use-case 1:
+ echo transient > trigger
+ echo n > duration
+ echo 1 > state
+repeat the following step as needed:
+ echo 1 > activate - start timer = duration to run once
+ echo 1 > activate - start timer = duration to run once
+ echo none > trigger
+
+This trigger is intended to be used for for the following example use cases:
+ - Control of vibrate (phones, tablets etc.) hardware by user space app.
+ - Use of LED by user space app as activity indicator.
+ - Use of LED by user space app as a kind of watchdog indicator -- as
+ long as the app is alive, it can keep the LED illuminated, if it dies
+ the LED will be extinguished automatically.
+ - Use by any user space app that needs a transient GPIO output.
