Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: leds: backlight: add Silergy SY7758
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 00:08:02 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511-sy7758-v1-1-999a33081304@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511-sy7758-v1-0-999a33081304@gmail.com>
From: Alexandre Hamamdjian <azkali.limited@gmail.com>
The Silergy SY7758 is an I2C-controlled multi-channel LED backlight
driver typically used to drive the edge-lit LED strings of LCD panels
in handheld and embedded devices. Brightness is programmed as a 12-bit
linear value through two 8-bit registers.
Document the binding for the new compatible "silergy,sy7758" so it can
be referenced by board device trees and the matching driver, and add a
MAINTAINERS entry covering both the binding and the upcoming driver.
