Merge tag 'leds-5.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pavel/linux-leds

Pull LED updates from Pavel Machek:
 "Okay, so... this one is interesting. RGB LEDs are very common, and we
  need to have some kind of support for them. Multicolor is for
  arbitrary set of LEDs in one package, RGB is for LEDs that can produce
  full range of colors. We do not have real multicolor LED that is not
  RGB in the pipeline, so that one is disabled for now.

  You can expect this saga to continue with next pull requests"

+====================================
+Multicolor LED handling under Linux
+====================================
+
+Description
+===========
+The multicolor class groups monochrome LEDs and allows controlling two
+aspects of the final combined color: hue and lightness. The former is
+controlled via the multi_intensity array file and the latter is controlled
+via brightness file.
+
+Multicolor Class Control
+========================
+The multicolor class presents files that groups the colors as indexes in an
+array.  These files are children under the LED parent node created by the
+led_class framework.  The led_class framework is documented in led-class.rst
+within this documentation directory.
+
+Each colored LED will be indexed under the multi_* files. The order of the
+colors will be arbitrary. The multi_index file can be read to determine the
+color name to indexed value.
+
+The multi_index file is an array that contains the string list of the colors as
+they are defined in each multi_* array file.
+
+The multi_intensity is an array that can be read or written to for the
+individual color intensities.  All elements within this array must be written in
+order for the color LED intensities to be updated.
+
+Directory Layout Example
+========================
+root:/sys/class/leds/multicolor:status# ls -lR
+-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          4096 Oct 19 16:16 brightness
+-r--r--r--    1 root     root          4096 Oct 19 16:16 max_brightness
+-r--r--r--    1 root     root          4096 Oct 19 16:16 multi_index
+-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          4096 Oct 19 16:16 multi_intensity
+
+Multicolor Class Brightness Control
+===================================
+The brightness level for each LED is calculated based on the color LED
+intensity setting divided by the global max_brightness setting multiplied by
+the requested brightness.
+
+led_brightness = brightness * multi_intensity/max_brightness
+
+Example:
+A user first writes the multi_intensity file with the brightness levels
+for each LED that are necessary to achieve a certain color output from a
+multicolor LED group.
+
+cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/multi_index
+green blue red
+
+echo 43 226 138 > /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/multi_intensity
+
+red -
+	intensity = 138
+	max_brightness = 255
+green -
+	intensity = 43
+	max_brightness = 255
+blue -
+	intensity = 226
+	max_brightness = 255
+
+The user can control the brightness of that multicolor LED group by writing the
+global 'brightness' control.  Assuming a max_brightness of 255 the user
+may want to dim the LED color group to half.  The user would write a value of
+128 to the global brightness file then the values written to each LED will be
+adjusted base on this value.
+
+cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/max_brightness
+255
+echo 128 > /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/brightness
+
+adjusted_red_value = 128 * 138/255 = 69
+adjusted_green_value = 128 * 43/255 = 21
+adjusted_blue_value = 128 * 226/255 = 113
+
+Reading the global brightness file will return the current brightness value of
+the color LED group.
+
+cat /sys/class/leds/multicolor:status/brightness
+128
