Subject[PATCH v2 0/3] Extend the LED panic trigger
Date
As per commit 916fe619951f ("leds: trigger: Introduce a kernel
panic LED trigger"), the kernel now supports a new LED trigger
to hook on the panic blink.

However, the only way of using this is to dedicate a LED device
to this function.

To overcome this limitation, the present series introduces the
capability to switch the LED trigger of certain LED devices upon
a kernel panic (using the panic notifier).

The decision of which LEDs should be switched to the panic trigger
is left to each LED device driver. As an example, a devicetree
boolean property is introduced and used in the leds-gpio driver.

Feedback and other ideas on how to implement this are most welcomed.

Changes from v1:

* Dropped the led_trigger_event_nosleep API, and instead just
clear the blink_delay_{on, off} when the panic is notified.
This results in less changes.

* Changed the flag to LED_PANIC_INDICATOR, as requested by Jacek.

* Changed the firmware property name to "panic-indicator", as
requested by Jacek.

panic
devicetree: leds: Introduce "panic-indicator" optional property
leds: gpio: Support the "panic-indicator" firmware property
