-Describing and referring to LEDs in ACPI
-
-Individual LEDs are described by hierarchical data extension [6] nodes under the
-device node, the LED driver chip. The "reg" property in the LED specific nodes
-tells the numerical ID of each individual LED output to which the LEDs are
-connected. [3] The hierarchical data nodes are named "led@X", where X is the
-number of the LED output.
-
-Referring to LEDs in Device tree is documented in [4], in "flash-leds" property
-documentation. In short, LEDs are directly referred to by using phandles.
-
-While Device tree allows referring to any node in the tree[1], in ACPI
-references are limited to device nodes only [2]. For this reason using the same
-mechanism on ACPI is not possible. A mechanism to refer to non-device ACPI nodes
-is documented in [7].
-
-ACPI allows (as does DT) using integer arguments after the reference. A
-combination of the LED driver device reference and an integer argument,
-referring to the "reg" property of the relevant LED, is used to identify
-individual LEDs. The value of the "reg" property is a contract between the
-firmware and software, it uniquely identifies the LED driver outputs.
-
-Under the LED driver device, The first hierarchical data extension package list
-entry shall contain the string "led@" followed by the number of the LED,
-followed by the referred object name. That object shall be named "LED" followed
-by the number of the LED.
-
-An ASL example of a camera sensor device and a LED driver device for two LEDs.
-Objects not relevant for LEDs or the references to them have been omitted.
