Subject: [PATCH v6 9/9] leds: st1202: correct and extend hw_pattern documentation
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 18:44:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <GV1PR08MB8497245CDA30E7304917EE72C5F52@GV1PR08MB8497.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <GV1PR08MB84972A16ED557BFB96D63F57C5F52@GV1PR08MB8497.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com>
Fix the repeat section: -1 is a valid value meaning infinite repeat,
as accepted by the ledtrig-pattern sysfs interface; only 0 and values
below -1 are rejected. The previous text incorrectly stated all negative
numbers were invalid. Also remove the redundant trailing sentence since
the behaviour is now covered inline.
Add the brightness range (0-255) to the hw_pattern section, which was
previously undocumented.
