Hi Baolin,

Thank you for the update.

From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some LED controllers have support for autonomously controlling
brightness over time, according to some preprogrammed pattern or
function.

This adds a new optional operator that LED class drivers can implement
if they support such functionality as well as a new device attribute to
configure the pattern for a given LED.

[Baolin Wang did some improvements.]

Changes from v3:
- Move the check in pattern_show() to of_led_classdev_register().
- Add more documentation to explain how to set/clear one pattern.

Changes from v2:
- Change kernel version to 4.19.
- Force user to return error pointer if failed to issue pattern_get().
- Use strstrip() to trim trailing newline.
- Other optimization.

Changes from v1:
- Add some comments suggested by Pavel.
- Change 'delta_t' can be 0.

Note: I removed the pattern repeat check and will get the repeat number by adding
one extra file named 'pattern_repeat' according to previous discussion.

gpio and backlight triggers. In case of the backlight trigger,
it is useful when driving a LED which is intended to indicate

+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern
+Date: July 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.19
+Description:
+ Specify a pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that support
+ altering the brightness as a function of time.
+
+ The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
+ duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and
+ each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
+ 0 means brightness should immediately change to new value.
+
+ As LED hardware might have different capabilities and precision
+ the requested pattern might be slighly adjusted by the driver
+ and the resulting pattern of such operation should be returned
+ when this file is read.
+
+ Writing non-empty string to this file will active the pattern,

s/active/activate/

+ and empty string will disable the pattern.

Why you don't require pattern_clear op to be initialized?
Without it there seems to be no other way to disable the pattern.

Please fail in led_classdev_register() if it is NULL, similarly
as when pattern_get is NULL.
