Add a new hid-lamparray helper module and integrate it with the hid-generic
driver.
While more complex lamparray handling should be done in userspace via hidraw,
providing a small module to add basic lamparray support makes it possible for
userspace software to interact with lamparrays by simply using well-known APIs
of the LED subsystem. One use-case would be to enable desktop environments to
support keyboard backlight control out of the box for HID lamparray devices
without having to implement the whole HID protocol themselves.
This patch is based on previous discussions:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/1fb08a74-62c7-4d0c-ba5d-648e23082dcb@tuxedocomputers.com/
The helper provides basic support for devices exposing a Lighting/LampArray
application collection (usage page 0x59) and registers a single-zone RGB LED
representation via the LED subsystem.
hid-generic now checks for LampArray support after hid_parse() and optionally
registers a lamparray instance. Failures in the helper do not abort device probe
to keep the driver logic otherwise unchanged.
LampArray resources are released on driver remove.
This commit was successfully tested on the Microsoft MacroPad reference
implementation (https://github.com/microsoft/RP2040MacropadHidSample 1d6c3ad)
and in combination with the tuxedo_nb04_wmi driver, albeit only fully functional
with a recent fix posted to the LKML
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260826081149.235487-2-aer@tuxedocomputers.com).
Others reported the driver to work on the Acer Predator PT14-52T and the ASUS
Prime B650-Plus, with the former requiring some patches on top of v5, which
should now be included in v6.
v6:
- Read attribute reports synchronously (by Cristian Mazotta)
- Raise log level of fatal probe errors (by Cristian Mazotta)
- Transfer control when use_leds_uapi changes (by Cristian Mazotta)
- Blank lamps across suspend and restore on resume (by Cristian Mazotta)
- Add quirk for devices that ignore intensities (reported by Armin Wolf)
- Better locking, fixing rare races in uapi registration
- Use scope guards for locking and allocations where possible
- Remove obsolete calls to led_mc_calc_color_components and
hid_device_io_start/stop
- Updated and slightly improved documentation
v5:
- Proper hardware detection (no quirks necessary anymore)
- Add documentation for new sysfs knob
- Pass limits of the device to sysfs (intensities & brightness)
- More flexible Kconfig (use tristate)
- Improved locking
- Several memory leak and (de-)initialization fixes
- Don't read current color values from hardware (the HID spec does not
offer this option)
- Remove redundant report dump functionality
v4:
- Restrict CONFIG_HID_LAMPARRAY to built-in configurations only to fix
additional randconfig build errors
v3:
- Squash V1 and V2 into one patch
v2:
- Fix Kconfig to avoid build errors when LEDS_CLASS_MULTICOLOR is
disabled

Add a new hid-lamparray helper module that provides basic support for
devices exposing a Lighting/LampArray application collection (usage
page 0x59) and registers a single-zone RGB LED representation via the
LED subsystem.
The module can be used as a library in HID drivers to add support for
the HID LampArray protocol. While the API is quite basic as of now
it could be extended in the future.

+Description:
+ If a driver uses the hid-lamparray module and a device supporting
+ LampArray is found, one multicolor LED class device is registered under
+ /sys/class/leds/rgb:<function> to expose the single-zone RGB control.
+
+ Additionally, the use_leds_uapi sysfs attribute to control the LED class
+ device is attached directly to the HID device at
+ /sys/bus/hid/devices/<bus>:<vid>:<pid>.<n>/use_leds_uapi. Writing 0 to
+ use_leds_uapi unregisters the LED class device. The last state is kept
+ cached. Writing 1 registers it again and restores the cached state to
+ hardware.

The hid-generic driver now checks for LampArray support after
hid_parse() and optionally registers a lamparray instance. Failures in
the helper do not abort device probe to keep the device unchanged.
LampArray resources are released on driver remove.
This patch was successfully tested on the Microsoft MacroPad reference
implementation (https://github.com/microsoft/RP2040MacropadHidSample
1d6c3ad) and in combination with the tuxedo_nb04_wmi driver, albeit only
functional with a recent fix posted to the LKML.

From: Cristian Mazzotta <cmmazzo@icloud.com>
The helper installs no PM callbacks, so lamps keep their last state
across suspend. Firmware is not required to turn them off in low power
states, and on devices where it does not, they stay lit for the whole
suspend.
On an Acer Predator PT14-52T, system power draw during s2idle is 12.35W
with the lamps lit and 2.84W with them blanked, measured at the charger.
Add lamparray_suspend(), which writes zeroes to the color channels
while leaving the cached RGB and brightness untouched, and
lamparray_resume(), which restores that cache. Both return early when
use_leds_uapi is 0 so a userspace driver keeps full control. hid-generic
gains suspend and resume callbacks to drive them, and calls
lamparray_resume() from reset_resume as well.
Some devices return to firmware control across a hibernate transition
while still reporting AutonomousMode = 0, and ignore host lamp updates
until the value genuinely transitions. Force a 1 -> 0 on resume
before restoring state.

Thanks for picking these up!
I do have two corrections on patch 3 however, and both were mine
originally, so my bad:
- The measurement in the commit message and in the comment above
lamparray_suspend() is wrong. It should be 12.35 W with lamps lit and
3.14 W blanked, which is 9.21 W or about 75% of s2idle draw, not
2.84 W / 77%. The 2.84 W was an earlier test on a local branch that
includes full multi-zone support. It's worth noting in the comment that
the 3.14 W still includes the lid zone, which single-zone control
cannot reach on this device.
- The kerneldoc for lamparray_suspend() still says it "writes zeroes to
the rgb values only, keeping the brightness", but the call is now
lamparray_hw_set_state(ldev, 0, 0, 0, 0). The code is fine, but the doc
should follow it.
On your question about the default state: I think the lights "look like
they don't work" can be a real conclusion, but the cause is the intensity
default rather than the brightness default.
With led_init_state NULL, last_r/g/b stay zero, register_led copies
them into subleds[].intensity, and brightness_set reads r/g/b back out
of subled_info[].intensity. So every brightness write sends
(0, 0, 0, brightness), which is black at any brightness. The
zero-brightness quirk does not change this since it only forces RGB to
zero when brightness is already zero.
The LED class device is therefore inert rather than just dark;
systemd-backlight restoring a saved brightness, or a DE slider, or
UPower, all write brightness and see nothing happen. This is because
nothing in that stack writes multi_intensity first.
Defaulting to autonomous mode would not fix that. It would replace an
inert knob with an ignored one: the cached RGB and brightness would
describe nothing the hardware is doing, and a DE would have to
discover and write use_leds_uapi to make the node real. That is
driver-specific knowledge that desktop environments are unlikely to
carry.
On a second look, I would suggest keeping brightness at LED_OFF, but
defaulting the intensities to max_r/max_g/max_b. The device is still
dark at probe, autonomous mode is still disabled so the cached state
matches the hardware, and the first brightness write from existing
userspace lights it up. Combined with the quirk you added for Armin's
device, it stays dark even on firmware that ignores the intensity channel.
One hardware data point, since discoverability came up: on the Acer
Predator PT14-52T the keyboard brightness keys are handled entirely in
the EC and never reach the LED class device, so they cannot be relied
on to show the user that anything is controllable.
On multi-collection, I don't see myself getting to it soon. I might work
on it during fall or winter break of my university, however I cannot
guarantee it, so please do not consider it blocked on me. The ENE
controller exposes two LampArrayAttributesReport collections and
lamparray_parse_update_report() only keeps the last.
I have a local branch which includes working multi-collection support.
It's based off of Tim's v4, and it's what I referred to in the original
v4 thread; I'd be happy to send over my branch as a reference, though
porting it to v6 is not trivial.

Ack. Will be fixed in v7.

I think this is a good idea. In general, the default should probably
either set intensities to max_(r|g|b) or brightness to max_brightness.
This would reduce the amount of writes necessary to see a result and I
agree that probably the brightness knob is most likely to be used by
userspace. Still, I'd like to have some more feedback, especially from
the maintainers before integrating this behavior in v7.

I could have a look at your branch, but I think it's better to wait for
this series to be merged before exploring more advanced features. I
can't guarantee that I will work on that actively, especially since I
don't have access to such hardware, but I'm curious to see what changes
you have applied to make it work with v4.
