[RFC PATCH] led: add Cycle LED trigger.

From: GaÃl PORTAY
Date: Tue Jun 18 2013 - 17:50:08 EST


Currently, none of available triggers supports playing with the LED brightness
level. The cycle trigger provides a way to define custom brightness cycle.
For example, it is easy to customize the cycle to mock up the rhythm of human
breathing which is a nice cycle to tell the user the system is doing something.

This trigger is meant to be usable for waiting an event to happen, for example
when the system gets ready. Those cycles may be used to reflect well known
system status (e.g. idle mode, startup...).

This implementation provides several interfaces:
- to define the cycle itself:
* plot: definition of plot points using plot or rawplot files,
each points defines the brightness level
* interval: constant time interval between each plot point
- to control the cycle:
* repeat: the number of repetition of the whole plot cycle
0 for an infinite loop
* control: used to control the cycle trigger
+ "start"/"stop": to start/stop the cycle
+ "reset" to clear the cycle counter and the internal plot point index
+ "pause"/"resume" to pause/resume the cycle

+Cycle LED Trigger
+=================
+
+This is a LED trigger useful for headless system where the LEDs are the only
+way to reflect system status.
+
+Currently, none of available triggers supports playing with the LED brightness
+level. The cycle trigger provides a way to define custom brightness cycle.
+For example, it is easy to customize the cycle to mock up the rhythm of human
+breathing which is a nice cycle to tell the user the system is doing something.
+
+This trigger is meant to be usable for waiting an event to happen, for example
+when the system gets ready. Those cycles may be used to reflect well known
+system status (e.g. idle mode, startup...).
+
+The application simply has to initialize some trigger parameters:
+ - the preset cycle (brightness plot),
+ - the constant interval of time between each brightness change and
+ - the number of repeat (0 for an infinite loop).
+Then, the application controls the life of the cycle using the commands below:
+ - "start"/"stop" to control the cycle,
+ - "reset" to clear the repeat counter,
+ - "pause"/"resume" to suspend or recover the cycle.
+
+The trigger can be activated from user space on led class devices as shown
+below:
+
+ echo cycle > trigger
+
+This adds the following sysfs attributes to the LED:
+
+ plot - specifies the brightness level cycle (from LED_OFF to LED_FULL).
+ Every values are separated by an end of line (0x0a).
+ Default is a triangular cycle from LED_FULL to LED_OFF and LED_OFF to
+ LED_FULL.
+
+ rawplot - same as plot except the plot are given in binary format (array of
+ bytes). Each bytes must be positive and range from LED_OFF to
+ LED_FULL.
+
+ interval - specifies the time elapsed between every brightness change.
+ This interval remains constant along the cycle unless a change
+ happened during the cycle execution.
+ Default to 100 ms.
+
+ repeat - specifies the number of cycles the trigger has to run.
+ Set the repeat value to 0 will let the led repeats the same cycle
+ till the end of time.
+ Default to 0.
+
+ count - get the current number of cycles. The counter is incrementing even
+ for an infinite loop.
+
+ control - tells the trigger what action to do.
+ "start" will start a new number of cycles from 0 to repeat.
+ "stop" will stop the cycle. The brightness level is left untouched
+ and the number of cycles is reset to 0.
+ "reset" will clear the number of cycles.
+ "pause"/"resume" will pause/resume the cycle.
+
+Cycle duration is determine by sizeof("plot") * "interval" ms.
+
+Example use-case: headless system initialization with network device.
+It runs the cycle till the device has received a IP from the DHCP server.
+
+ echo cycle > trigger # set trigger for this led
+ echo 0 > repeat # set loop forever
+ echo 50 > interval # set 50 ms between each brightness change
+ cat << EOF > plot
+255
+254
+254
+253
+...
+2
+1
+1
+0
+EOF # customize the cycle with a smoother one (sinus)
+ echo start > control # starts the cycle trigger
+
+dhcp lease bound or renewed: stop cycle and turn led on.
+
+ echo stop > control # halt the cycle
+ echo 255 > brightness # and turn led on roughly
+or
+ echo 1 > count # let the cycle to terminate
+ echo 10 > interval # and accelerate the end of cycle smoothly end the cycle
+
+dhcp lease lost or being renewed: restart cycle.
+
+ echo start > control
