description:
Backlight devices provide backlight for different types of graphical
displays. They are typically but not necessarily implemented using a white
LED powered by a boost converter.
properties:
default-brightness:
description:
The default brightness that should be applied to the LED by the operating
system on start-up. The brightness should not exceed the brightness the
LED can provide.
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
max-brightness:
description:
Normally the maximum brightness is determined by the hardware and this
property is not required. This property is used to put a software limit
on the brightness apart from what the driver says, as it could happen
that a LED can be made so bright that it gets damaged or causes damage
due to restrictions in a specific system, such as mounting conditions.
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
brightness-levels:
description:
Array of distinct brightness levels. The levels must be in the range
accepted by the underlying LED device. Typically these are in the range
from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do, as long as they are
accepted by the LED.
The 0 value means a 0% of brightness (darkest/off), while the last value
in the array represents a full 100% brightness (brightest).
If this array is not provided, the driver default mapping is used.
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32-array
default-brightness-level:
description:
The default brightness level (index into the array defined by the
"brightness-levels" property).
