The Light Pulse Generator (LPG) is a PWM-block found in a wide range of PMICs from Qualcomm. These PMICs typically comes with 1-8 LPG instances, with their output being routed to various other components, such as current sinks or GPIOs. Each LPG instance can operate on fixed parameters or based on a shared lookup-table, altering the duty cycle over time. This provides the means for hardware assisted transitions of LED brightness. A typical use case for the fixed parameter mode is to drive a PWM backlight control signal, the driver therefor allows each LPG instance to be exposed to the kernel either through the LED framework or the PWM framework. A typical use case for the LED configuration is to drive RGB LEDs in smartphones etc, for which the driver supports multiple channels to be ganged up to a MULTICOLOR LED. In this configuration the pattern generators will be synchronized, to allow for multi-color patterns. The idea of modelling this as a LED driver ontop of a PWM driver was considered, but setting the properties related to patterns does not fit in the PWM API. Similarly the idea of just duplicating the lower bits in a PWM and LED driver separately was considered, but this would not allow the PWM channels and LEDs to be configured on a per-board basis. The driver implements the more complex LED interface, and provides a PWM interface on the side of that, in the same driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
