14description:
15  Backlight devices provide backlight for different types of graphical
16  displays. They are typically but not necessarily implemented using a white
17  LED powered by a boost converter.

19properties:
20  default-brightness:
21    description:
22      The default brightness that should be applied to the LED by the operating
23      system on start-up. The brightness should not exceed the brightness the
24      LED can provide.
25    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
26
27  max-brightness:
28    description:
29      Normally the maximum brightness is determined by the hardware and this
30      property is not required. This property is used to put a software limit
31      on the brightness apart from what the driver says, as it could happen
32      that a LED can be made so bright that it gets damaged or causes damage
33      due to restrictions in a specific system, such as mounting conditions.
34    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
35
36  brightness-levels:
37    description:
38      Array of distinct brightness levels. The levels must be in the range
39      accepted by the underlying LED device. Typically these are in the range
40      from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do, as long as they are
41      accepted by the LED.
42      The 0 value means a 0% of brightness (darkest/off), while the last value
43      in the array represents a full 100% brightness (brightest).
44      If this array is not provided, the driver default mapping is used.

46
47  default-brightness-level:
48    description:
49      The default brightness level (index into the array defined by the
50      "brightness-levels" property).
