Subject: [PATCH v5 7/9] leds: st1202: disable channel when brightness is set to zero
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 21:39:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <GV1PR08MB84978534CCF36301889E48A9C5E32@GV1PR08MB8497.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <GV1PR08MB8497ABC8E6AEFF8AAA1AF883C5E32@GV1PR08MB8497.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com>

When brightness_set() is called with LED_OFF, only the ILED register is
zeroed; the channel enable bit is left set from probe time. A hardware
channel enabled with ILED=0 still draws a small residual current, causing
a dim glow even when the LED is supposed to be off.

Fix this by splitting st1202_channel_set() into a lockless inner function
__st1202_channel_set() and a locking wrapper, then calling the inner
function from brightness_set() while it already holds the mutex. The
channel is now disabled when value is zero and re-enabled when non-zero,
in the same lock region as the ILED write.

Fixes: 259230378c65 ("leds: Add LED1202 I2C driver")
