<p>Hi all!<br>
</p>
<p>Since commit a1e70a7af by <span><span role="listitem"
data-id="1000014" title="vishwa@linux.vnet.ibm.com Votable:
Code-Review, Verified, Ok-To-Test"
class="com-google-gerrit-client-change-ChangeScreen_BinderImpl_GenCss_style-label_user">Vishwanatha
Subbanna</span></span> to phosphor-dbus-interfaces (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/#/c/openbmc/phosphor-dbus-interfaces/+/1136/">https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/#/c/openbmc/phosphor-dbus-interfaces/+/1136/</a>
), there is a property 'Color' for leds.</p>
<p>However, it looks like nothing is setting that property for any
of the supported platforms. So any led always has it in d-bus set
to Unknown.</p>
<p>It is unclear to us what was the intention for adding that
property. It has not been explained in the commit log for the
commit. It is also unclear what could be the correct way to set
that property. phosphor-led-manager operates on groups. A single
led can be a part of multiple groups, so 'led.yaml' in
phosphor-led-manager looks like a wrong place to attach a color
property to leds. Each leds used in led.yaml is called by the name
taken from Linux devicetree. However, the bindings for leds in
Linux devicetree do not imply color information as well.</p>
<p>Are there any hints on how to set that property the right way?
Can you imagine any real use cases for the color property? Maybe
we should just ditch it completely? It's been 2 years since it has
been introduced and nobody seems to have cared...<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
