Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 35/50] USB: serial: iuu_phoenix: Use pseudorandom for
 xmas mode

I also fixed a couple of buffer overrun bugs in iuu_led_activity_on,
based on code not expecting the "*buf_ptr++" to have been incremented.

- In xmas mode, the final setting of the period byte to 1 was
  done to buf_ptr[7], which was past the end of the buffer.
- In non-xmas mode, iuu_rgbf_fill_buffer() fills in 8 bytes starting
  with the IUU_SET_LED command.  The net result is duplicating the
  command and writing an extra byte off the end of the buffer.

I rewrote the code to omit the ++, which is more legible.

Not tested because I don't have the hardware, but I don't think
this code has been exercised much anyway.
