Subject: Documentation: leds: clarify what 50% brightness means
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:34:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150311093425.GA8866@amd> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAK5ve-K4jyBSVk1CZ8qQrFgevqdbhdsgZ1ZYX2e-t07494oq4A@mail.gmail.com>
I played with RGB LED a bit, and we have quite a gap in
documentation: what 50% brightness means is non-trivial and very
important in case we want to do smooth blinking and color
transitions.

non-zero brightness settings. The value is between 0 and
/sys/class/leds/<led>/max_brightness.
