Also, all three channels can be controlled using [the] micro-engine programs.
More details of the instructions can be found from [the] public datasheet.

Control interface for [the] engines:

sysfs contains a selftest entry.

The test communicates with the chip and checks that
[the] clock mode is automatically set to [the] requested one.

Each channel has its own led current settings.

Same as above

* The antecedent that "which" refers to above is the "chip."

[The] chip provides 3 engines. Each engine can control a channel without
interaction from the main CPU.

If the level is too high, the led is missing; if the level is
too low, there is a short circuit.

Selftest always uses [the] current from [the] platform data.
