Subject: [PATCH 1/1] dt-bindings: mfd: add ti,lm8502 combo LED + haptic controller
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 10:02:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603080256.853037-2-github.com@herrie.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603080256.853037-1-github.com@herrie.org>
Add a YAML binding for the TI LM8502, an I2C combo LED + haptic
controller used in the HP TouchPad tablet. The chip is exposed as an
MFD with two child sub-nodes:
ti,lm8502-leds - LED-class outputs D1..D10 (with per-LED reg
and led-max-microamp properties)
ti,lm8502-haptic - EV_FF / FF_RUMBLE input device for the internal
H-bridge vibrator output, optional
ti,invert-direction property

+description: |
+ The TI LM8502 is an I2C combo device with ten constant-current LED
+ outputs (D1..D10) and an internal H-bridge that drives a vibrator
+ motor. Pin D10 is shared between the tenth LED channel and the
+ haptic output; the haptic driver writes D10_CURRENT_CTRL = 0 at each
+ start to mux the pin to the H-bridge path.
+
+ The chip is exposed in Linux as an MFD with two children:
+ - ti,lm8502-leds - LED-class outputs D1..D10
+ - ti,lm8502-haptic - EV_FF / FF_RUMBLE input device
+
+ The parent node owns the I2C client, the chip-enable GPIO and the
+ vcc regulator; children share access to the parent's regmap.
