2021-10-27leds: add new LED_FUNCTION_PLAYER for player LEDs for game controllers.Roderick Colenbrander1-0/+14
Player LEDs are commonly found on game controllers from Nintendo and Sony to indicate a player ID across a number of LEDs. For example, "Player 2" might be indicated as "-x--" on a device with 4 LEDs where "x" means on. This patch introduces LED_FUNCTION_PLAYER1-5 defines to properly indicate player LEDs from the kernel. Until now there was no good standard, which resulted in inconsistent behavior across xpad, hid-sony, hid-wiimote and other drivers. Moving forward new drivers should use LED_FUNCTION_PLAYERx. Note: management of Player IDs is left to user space, though a kernel driver may pick a default value.

2021-08-20Documentation: leds: standartizing LED namesPavel Machek1-0/+58
We have a list of valid functions, but LED names in sysfs are still far from being consistent. Create list of "well known" LED names so we nudge people towards using same LED names (except color) for same functionality. Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
