Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] dt-bindings: iio: proximity: move LIDAR-Lite v2 out of trivial-devices
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 17:55:17 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819205751.166030-2-rodrigo.gobbi.7@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819205751.166030-1-rodrigo.gobbi.7@gmail.com>

The PulsedLight LIDAR-Lite v2 is currently described as a trivial device,
but it is not one: besides the I2C interface it exposes a power-enable
pin and a mode-control pin.

The mode-control pin can trigger acquisitions and report the measured
distance through a PWM signal, entirely bypassing I2C. That usage is
bidirectional and non-cyclic, so it doesn't map onto any existing
binding for describing pin behaviour, and is intentionally left
undocumented here. The same pin can, however, also be used as a plain
status output while I2C remains the active interface, which is
described through the new interrupts property.

Move the device to a dedicated binding file and document the
power-enable, power-supply and interrupt properties that
trivial-devices.yaml has no way to express.

+description: |
+  This binding covers the I2C interface of the Pulsedlight LIDAR-Lite v2
+  laser rangefinder.
+
+  Besides I2C, the mode control pin can also trigger acquisitions and
+  report the measured distance through a PWM signal, without using I2C
+  at all. That usage is bidirectional and non-cyclic, and is not
+  described by this binding. The same pin can also be used, while I2C
+  remains the active interface, as a plain status output signalling
+  when an acquisition has completed.
