Subject: [PATCH v8 1/4] dt-bindings: backlight: Add max25014 support
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:41:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407-max25014-v8-1-14eac7ed673a@gocontroll.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260407-max25014-v8-0-14eac7ed673a@gocontroll.com>
From: Maud Spierings <maudspierings@gocontroll.com>
The Maxim MAX25014 is a 4-channel automotive grade backlight driver IC
with integrated boost controller.
Reviewed-by: Rob Herring (Arm) <robh@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Maud Spierings <maudspierings@gocontroll.com>
---
In the current implementation the control registers for channel 1,
control all channels. So only one led subnode with led-sources is
supported right now. If at some point the driver functionality is
expanded the bindings can be easily extended with it.
