Merge tag 'leds-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/j.anaszewski/linux-leds
Pull LED subsystem updates from Jacek Anaszewski:
"Besides regular driver updates, we introduce a portion of LED core
improvements, that allow to avoid the need for using work queues in
the LED class drivers, that set brightness in a blocking way.
Affected LED class drivers are being optimized accordingly.
- LED core improvements:
- use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL consistently,
- add two new LED_BLINK_ flags,
- rename brightness_set_sync op to brightness_set_blocking,
- add led_set_brightness_nosleep{nopm} functions,
- use set_brightness_work for the blocking op,
- drivers shouldn't enforce SYNC/ASYNC brightness setting,
- turn off the LED and wait for completion on unregistering LED
class device,
- add managed version of led_trigger_register,
- add description of brightness setting API to the LED class doc.
- Remove work queues from drivers: leds-tlc591xx, leds-88pm860x, leds-adp5520,
leds-bd2802, leds-blinkm, leds-lm3533, leds-lm3642, leds-pca9532,
leds-lp3944, leds-lp55xx, leds-lp8788, leds-lp8860, leds-pca955x,
leds-pca963x, leds-wm831x, leds-da903x, leds-da9052, leds-dac124d085,
leds-lt3593, leds-max8997, leds-mc13783, leds-regulator, leds-wm8350,
leds-max77693, leds-aat1290, leds-ktd2692, leds-gpio, leds-pwm,
leds-lm355x, leds-ns2.
- Replace brightness_set op with a new brightness_set_blocking op to
make the drivers compatible with led triggers: leds-ipaq-micro,
leds-powernv.
- Add missing of_node_put: leds-ktd2692, leds-aat1290, leds-max77693.
- Make the driver explicitly non-modular: ledtrig-cpu,
ledtrig-ide-disk, leds-syscon.
- Improvements to leds-bcm6328:
- reuse bcm6328_led_set() instead of copying its functionality,
- swap LED ON and OFF definitions,
- improve blink support,
- simplify duplicated unlock in bcm6328_blink_set,
- add little endian support,
- remove unneded lock when checking initial LED status,
- add HAS_IOMEM dependency,
- code cleaning.
- Improvements to leds-bcm6358:
- use bcm6358_led_set() in order to get rid of the lock,
- merge bcm6358_led_mode and bcm6358_led_set,
- add little endian support,
- remove unneded lock when checking initial LED status,
- add HAS_IOMEM dependency,
- remove unneeded busy status check.
- Call led_pwm_set() in leds-pwm to enforce default LED_OFF.
- Fix duration to be msec instead of jiffies: ledtrig-transient.
- Removing NULL check: leds-powernv.
- Use platform_register/unregister_drivers(): leds-sunfire.
- Fix module license specification: ledtrig-oneshot.
- Fix driver description and make license match the header: leds-pwm.
- Remove checking for state < 1 in flash_strobe_store():
led-class-flash.
- Use led_set_brightness_sync for torch brightness:
v4l2-flash-led-class"
