Message-ID <[email protected]>
This small series adds camera flash to an existing similar mainline
driver and adds it to the Samsung Expressatt's DTS

// Tests

// # Navigate to LED
sudo su
cd /sys/class/leds/white:flash

// # Should stay at dim brightness
echo 1 > brightness
echo 1 > brightness
echo 1 > brightness
echo 1 > brightness
echo 0 > brightness           # LED_OFF

// # Max Brightness
echo 50 > brightness
echo 0 > brightness           # LED_OFF
echo 99 > brightness
echo 0 > brightness           # LED_OFF
echo 1000 > brightness
echo 0 > brightness           # LED_OFF
echo 100 > brightness
echo 0 > brightness           # LED_OFF

// # Should increase in brightness
for i in $(seq 1 16); do echo $i > brightness; sleep 1; done
echo 0 > brightness           # LED_OFF

// # Test flash strobe (rt8515_led_flash_strobe_set)
cat max_flash_timeout          # check max
echo 200000 > flash_timeout    # 200ms
echo 1 > flash_strobe          # strobe ON → brightness_commit + timer
cat flash_strobe               # should read 1, then 0 after timeout
sleep 1
cat flash_strobe               # should be 0 (timer fired)

// # Test manual strobe cancel
echo 1 > flash_strobe ; echo 0 > flash_strobe          # immediate off

// # Check regulator error handling
dmesg | tail -20                     # look for any "failed to turn off LED" msgs

// # Multiple strobes shouldn't cause errors
echo 200000 > flash_timeout
echo 1 > flash_strobe
echo 1 > flash_strobe
sleep 1
cat flash_strobe
dmesg | tail -20

// # Multiple strobes shouldn't cause errors (extreme test)
for i in $(seq 1 500); do echo 1 > flash_strobe; echo 0 > flash_strobe; done
dmesg | tail -20

// # Test minimal timeout (turns on briefly)
echo 1 > flash_timeout
echo 1 > flash_strobe
sleep 0.1
cat flash_strobe
dmesg | tail -20

// # Flash strobe overrides brightness and flashes at full brightness
echo 200000 > flash_timeout
echo 1 > brightness
echo 1 > flash_strobe
sleep 1
cat flash_strobe
cat brightness
dmesg | tail -20

Changes in v6:
- Address Lee Jones's comments:
    - formatting
    - use cancel_delayed_work_sync()
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v5:
- Address Lee Jones's comments:
    - formatting
    - use devm_regulator_get_optional()
    - use a workqueue instead of a timer
    - previously we were validating ent-gpios xor vin-supply at probe,
        but was removed. update the commit msg to reflect this
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v4:
- Driver:
    - revert function renames
    - add comment to use flash instead if torch pin not available
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- DTS:
    - Renamed and reordered nodes
- Driver:
    - Use regulator_is_enabled() instead of reg_enabled
    - remove ent xor vin check
    - remove rt->reg == -ENODEV check
    - rename functions to reflect what they do and added ret's
    - Fixed: LED was increasing in brightness when setting the same
        brightness multiple times
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- dt-bindings: Explain the hardware and not the driver
- **/*: Use vin-supply instead of unlock-gpio
- expressatt DTS: Reorder pinctrl-*
- expressatt DTS: Define rfs-ohms to a default (couldn't find
                  information about this)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
