Like the Nokia N900, the N950 has leds to show the state of sys_clkreq and sys_off_mode pins. A detailed description for the LEDs and OMAP's sleep states can be found in Tony's commit for the Nokia N900: c1be2032f66df9e1238bd5bc4ca666de88a62abcI must say I've seen it on N900, and yes, it is useful, but no, I don't think this is right. This is not a LED. This is a interface that changes meaning of two other LEDs. I guess it should go to debugfs somewhere.
Eh that sounds like a GPIO LED to me :) And it already has a /sys/class/leds/debug interface. The two LEDs this GPIO controls are hardwired to sys_clkreq and sys_off_mode pins that are the control signals between the SoC and PMIC. In theory you could steal the sys_clkreq and sys_off_mode pins from the PMIC at the cost of breaking PM. But I doubt anybody wants to do that considering it's a battery operated device.
I don't think we should diverge N900 and N950 userspace APIs in this regard. Actually the correct way would be a custom trigger for the leds IMHO. I don't know if the led framework supports per led custom triggers, though.
Sure, there are something like 10 triggers already. And you can already change them using: echo none > /sys/class/leds/debug::sleep/trigger That still does not change the fact that the LEDs trigger based on the state of sys_clkreq and sys_off_mode. Maybe I'm not following what you guys are trying to achieve here though :) If so, please let me know.
