[PATCH 0/2] leds: drivers for lp5521 and lp5523 chips
LP5521 and LP5523 are LED driver chips from National Semiconductor. Chips have many similarities but also quite many differences. It is clearer to have separate driver for both of the chip types. LP5521 is a 3 channel chip with 3 programmable micro engines. LP5523 is a 9 channel chip with 3 programmable micro engin... 26 May 2010 08:03
