[PATCH v4 0/4] leds: pca955x: Add HW blink support

From: Eddie James
Date: Tue Apr 12 2022 - 12:42:32 EST


This series adds support for blinking using the PCA955x chip, falling
back to software blinking if another LED on the chip is already blinking
at a different rate, or if the requested rate isn't representable with
the PCA955x.
Also included are some minor clean up and optimization changes that make
the HW blinking a bit easier.

Changes since v3:
- Initialize return value in the blink function

Changes since v2:
- Split the cleanup patch
- Prettier dev_err calls
- Include units for blink period and use defined unit translations
rather than just a number.
- Use positive conditionals.

Changes since v1:
- Rework the blink function to fallback to software blinking if the
period is out of range of the chip's capabilities or if another LED
on the chip is already blinking at a different rate.
- Add the cleanup patch
