Subject: [PATCH FIX] usb: core: usbport: Use proper LED API to fix potential crash

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

Calling brightness_set manually isn't safe as some LED drivers don't
implement this callback. The best idea is to just use a proper helper
which will fallback to the brightness_set_blocking callback if needed.

This fixes:

Hi Greg,

I'm aware this may too late for 4.9 so I added Cc stable entry. I guess it's OK
if you pick it to usb-next.
