+Kernel driver for lp5521
+========================
+
+* National Semiconductor LP5521 led driver chip
+* Datasheet: http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP5521.html

+Description
+-----------
+
+LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
+the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
+lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
+
+All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
+More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.
+
+LP5521 has the internal program memory for running various LED patterns.
+For the details, please refer to 'firmware' section in leds-lp55xx.txt
+
+sysfs contains a selftest entry.
+The test communicates with the chip and checks that
+the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.
+
+Each channel has its own led current settings.
+/sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/led_current - RW
+/sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel0/max_current - RO
+Format: 10x mA i.e 10 means 1.0 mA
+
+example platform data:
+
+Note: chan_nr can have values between 0 and 2.
+The name of each channel can be configurable.
+If the name field is not defined, the default name will be set to 'xxxx:channelN'
+(XXXX : pdata->label or i2c client name, N : channel number)

+
+If the current is set to 0 in the platform data, that channel is
+disabled and it is not visible in the sysfs.
+
+The 'update_config' : CONFIG register (ADDR 08h)
+This value is platform-specific data.
+If update_config is not defined, the CONFIG register is set with
+'LP5521_PWRSAVE_EN | LP5521_CP_MODE_AUTO | LP5521_R_TO_BATT'.
+(Enable auto-powersave, set charge pump to auto, red to battery)
+
+example of update_config :
+
+#define LP5521_CONFIGS (LP5521_PWM_HF | LP5521_PWRSAVE_EN | \
+ LP5521_CP_MODE_AUTO | LP5521_R_TO_BATT | \
