This notifier stuff looks an awful lot like an interrupt controller
driver.  Now that it's possible to implement support for an I2C/SPI
driven interrupt controller it'd be good to use that rather than having
a custom API if that's possible.

Since there's platform data in here it'd probably be better to namespace
the #defines or put them in a separate header in case there are
collisions with some other chip used on a board.

There's some 'platfrom' rather than 'platform' typos.

I don't know exactly what the on_time option does but if it controls
hardware-implemented blinking there's actually a callback function the
LED driver can implement to allow triggers to use the hardware assisted
blinking at runtime.  If it returns an error or isn't implemented
there's a software fallback.
