+/**
+ * DOC: Overview
+ *
+ * Generic LED API provided when a supported compatible is defined in
DeviceTree.
+ *
+ * To enable support for LEDs, enable the `CONFIG_LED` Kconfig option.
+ *
+ * The most common implementation is for GPIO-connected LEDs. If using
GPIO-connected LEDs,
+ * enable the `LED_GPIO` Kconfig option.
+ *
+ * `LED_BLINK` support requires LED driver support and is therefore optional.
If LED blink
+ * functionality is needed, enable the `LED_BLINK` Kconfig option.
+ *
+ * GPIO-connected LEDs can simulate blinking via software using the Cyclic
API. To utilize this,
+ * enable `CONFIG_LED_GPIO_SW_BLINK`. This will also select `CONFIG_LED_BLINK`
and `CONFIG_CYCLIC`.
+ *
+ * Boot and Activity LEDs are also supported. These LEDs can signal various
system operations
+ * during runtime, such as boot initialization, file transfers, and flash
write/erase operations.
+ *
+ * To enable a Boot LED, enable `CONFIG_LED_BOOT_ENABLE` and define
`CONFIG_LED_BOOT_LABEL`. This
+ * will enable the specified LED to blink and turn ON when the bootloader
initializes correctly.
+ *
+ * To enable an Activity LED, enable `CONFIG_LED_ACTIVITY_ENABLE` and define
+ * `CONFIG_LED_ACTIVITY_LABEL`.
+ * This will enable the specified LED to blink and turn ON during file
transfers or flash
+ * write/erase operations.
+ *
+ * Both Boot and Activity LEDs provide a simple API to turn the LED ON or OFF:
+ * `led_boot_on()`, `led_boot_off()`, `led_activity_on()`, and
`led_activity_off()`.
+ *
+ * Both configurations can optionally define a `_PERIOD` option if
`CONFIG_LED_BLINK` is enabled
+ * for LED blink operations, which is usually used by the Activity LED.
+ *
+ * When `CONFIG_LED_BLINK` is enabled, additional APIs are exposed:
`led_boot_blink()` and
+ * `led_activity_blink()`. Note that if `CONFIG_LED_BLINK` is disabled, these
APIs will behave
+ * like the `led_boot_on()` and `led_activity_on()` APIs, respectively.
