The LP5812 is a 4x3 matrix RGB LED driver with autonomous animation
engine control.
The driver provides interfaces to configure LED modes manual/autonomous,
set PWM/DC values, and manage autonomous animation engines.

How many of these can be swapped out for already existing sysfs attributes, I wonder. Let's start with the basics first. Just to get the device working. This is a huge change with massive impact and it all needs to be well thought through before we start doing anything drastic like introducing massive amounts of stable ABI !! > Signed-off-by: Nam Tran <trannamatk@gmail.com> > --- > .../ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-i2c-devices-lp5812 | 40 ++++++ > .../ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-lp5812 | 120 ++++++++++++++++++ > MAINTAINERS | 2 + > 3 files changed, 162 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-i2c-devices-lp5812 > create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led-lp5812 > > diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-i2c-devices-lp5812 b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-i2c-devices-lp5812 > new file mode 100644 > index 000000000000..a8b1d5c52a82 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-i2c-devices-lp5812 > @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ > +What: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/.../lp5812_chip_setup/dev_config > +Date: July 2025 > +KernelVersion: 6.17 > +Contact: Nam Tran <trannamatk@gmail.com> > +Description: > + Configures drive mode and scan order.
