[PATCH v3 0/2] Add support for LTC3208 multi-display driver

[PATCH v3 0/2] Add support for LTC3208 multi-display driver

[Jan Carlo Roleda]

The LTC3208 is a multi-display LED driver, using a high-efficiency, low
noise charge pump to provide power to 5 channels (MAIN, SUB, RGB, CAM,
AUX). Current for each LED is controlled by the I2C serial interface.
Four AUX current sources can be independently assigned via the I2C port
to the CAM, SUB, MAIN, or AUX DAC controlled displays

Changes in v3:
- Edited device bindings descriptions
-- removed full stop in title
-- replaced quotes with double quotes for consistency
-- removed <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h> from example
-- removed led1-7 in example for brevity
- squashed maintainers commit to driver commit
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260326-upstream-ltc3208-v2-0-3dbc992b6098@analog.com

Changes in v2:
- Addressed DTSchema bot warnings and errors
-- removed extra blank lines
-- fixed $id to match current naming
- Addressed Kernel test warnings
-- fixed bounds for aux channel configurations
- Link to v0: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260318-upstream-ltc3208-v1-0-015f1f1e9065@analog.com

Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] leds: ltc3208: add driver

[Lee Jones]

"Add driver" is not a good subject line.

> Kernel driver implementation for LTC3208 Multidisplay LED Driver

A one line commit messages is not suitable fore a 300 line driver!

What is the LTC3208 Multidisplay LED?
What does it do?
How does it operate?
What's special about it?
Any quirks?

Are all of these headers strictly necessary? For instance, it doesn't appear we
are using GPIOs, platform devices, or workqueues in this driver.

Nit: This can look nicer nested:

Should we be using 'regmap_update_bits()' or 'regmap_field' here instead?
Constructing the register value by reading the software state of another LED
instance could lead to races.

This lot is begging for a sub function:

static int ltc3208_led_set_current_level(struct regmap *regmap, u8 reg, u8 low, u8 high) {
{
	return regmap_write(regmap, reg, SET_HIGH_BYTE(high) | low);

That tabbing is awkward.  In these cases it's better to do the

Capitalise comments and it's "Device Tree", although honestly, I think
the whole comment is superfluous.

Use 100-chars.

Why not just aux_channels and pull the values out in the function.

When is 'i' not 'LTC3208_NUM_AUX_LEDS'?

I still expect this to be complete, so at least function and color.
