45fd752b6SBaolin WangDescription:
55fd752b6SBaolin Wang		Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
65fd752b6SBaolin Wang		the brightness for the specified duration with one software
75fd752b6SBaolin Wang		timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
85fd752b6SBaolin Wang
95fd752b6SBaolin Wang		The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
101dd70937SKrzysztof Kozlowski		duration (ms).
115fd752b6SBaolin Wang
121dd70937SKrzysztof Kozlowski		The exact format is described in:

185fd752b6SBaolin WangDescription:
195fd752b6SBaolin Wang		Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
205fd752b6SBaolin Wang		supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
215fd752b6SBaolin Wang		to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active
225fd752b6SBaolin Wang		software pattern.
235fd752b6SBaolin Wang
245fd752b6SBaolin Wang		Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
255fd752b6SBaolin Wang		hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
26*26a07553SMauro Carvalho Chehab		description for the hardware patterns in their documentation
27*26a07553SMauro Carvalho Chehab		file at Documentation/leds/.

325fd752b6SBaolin WangDescription:
335fd752b6SBaolin Wang		Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely,
345fd752b6SBaolin Wang		other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.
355fd752b6SBaolin Wang
365fd752b6SBaolin Wang		This file will always return the originally written repeat
375fd752b6SBaolin Wang		number.
