Message-ID<rkjij-dT-31@gated-at.bofh.it>
It's desirable to specify which LEDs are to be blinked on a kernel
panic. Therefore, introduce a devicetree boolean property to mark
which LEDs should be treated this way.

I'd say that 'panic-indicator' would be more informative.

Please next time cc also devicetree list and maintainers.

Sure, that looks much better.

Will do.

Thanks for the reviews!

We already have a way to specify LED triggers. Why can't that be used?

Because this is not about specifying a LED trigger.

The use case is the following: a LED is assigned to some LED trigger.
When the kernel panics, we want to switch that LED to the panic trigger,
so it blinks signalling the panic.

IOW, this allows a LED to be used for "normal operation stuff trigger",
but blink if the kernel panics.
