[PATCH v8 3/4] leds: pca963x: add multicolor LED class support

Loic Poulain <[email protected]> Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:54:35 +0200
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-leds,org.kernel.vger.linux-arm-msm,org.kernel.vger.linux-devicetree,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Allow grouping of individual PCA963x PWM channels into a single
multicolor LED device by adding support for the LED multicolor class.

A child node with sub-children is treated as a multicolor group,
others are treated as single leds, keeping full backwards compatibility.
