+V4L2 flash wrapper for flash LEDs
|
|
|
+=================================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A LED subsystem driver can be controlled also from the level of VideoForLinux2
|
|
|
+subsystem. In order to enable this CONFIG_V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS symbol has to
|
|
|
+be defined in the kernel config.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The driver must call the v4l2_flash_init function to get registered in the
|
|
|
+V4L2 subsystem. The function takes six arguments:
|
|
|
+- dev : flash device, e.g. an I2C device
|
|
|
+- of_node : of_node of the LED, may be NULL if the same as device's
|
|
|
+- fled_cdev : LED flash class device to wrap
|
|
|
+- iled_cdev : LED flash class device representing indicator LED associated with
|
|
|
+ fled_cdev, may be NULL
|
|
|
+- ops : V4L2 specific ops
|
|
|
+ * external_strobe_set - defines the source of the flash LED strobe -
|
|
|
+ V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE control or external source, typically
|
|
|
+ a sensor, which makes it possible to synchronise the flash
|
|
|
+ strobe start with exposure start,
|
|
|
+ * intensity_to_led_brightness and led_brightness_to_intensity - perform
|
|
|
+ enum led_brightness <-> V4L2 intensity conversion in a device
|
|
|
+ specific manner - they can be used for devices with non-linear
|
|
|
+ LED current scale.
|
|
|
+- config : configuration for V4L2 Flash sub-device
|
|
|
+ * dev_name - the name of the media entity, unique in the system,
|
|
|
+ * flash_faults - bitmask of flash faults that the LED flash class
|
|
|
+ device can report; corresponding LED_FAULT* bit definitions are
|
|
|
+ available in <linux/led-class-flash.h>,
|
|
|
+ * torch_intensity - constraints for the LED in TORCH mode
|
|
|
+ in microamperes,
|
|
|
+ * indicator_intensity - constraints for the indicator LED
|
|
|
+ in microamperes,
|
|
|
+ * has_external_strobe - determines whether the flash strobe source
|
|
|
+ can be switched to external,
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+On remove the v4l2_flash_release function has to be called, which takes one
|
|
|
+argument - struct v4l2_flash pointer returned previously by v4l2_flash_init.
|
|
|
+This function can be safely called with NULL or error pointer argument.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Please refer to drivers/leds/leds-max77693.c for an exemplary usage of the
|
|
|
+v4l2 flash wrapper.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once the V4L2 sub-device is registered by the driver which created the Media
|
|
|
+controller device, the sub-device node acts just as a node of a native V4L2
|
|
|
+flash API device would. The calls are simply routed to the LED flash API.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Opening the V4L2 flash sub-device makes the LED subsystem sysfs interface
|
|
|
+unavailable. The interface is re-enabled after the V4L2 flash sub-device
|
|
|
+is closed.
