Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 02/11] leds: add function to configure hardware controlled LED

Add hw_control_configure helper to configure how the LED should work in
hardware mode. The function require to support the particular trigger and
will use the passed flag to elaborate the data and apply the
correct configuration. This function will then be used by the trigger to
request and update hardware configuration.

 and any software only trigger will reject activation as the LED supports only
 hardware mode.
 
+A trigger once he declared support for hardware controlled blinks, will use the function
+hw_control_configure() provided by the driver to check support for a particular blink mode.
+This function passes as the first argument (flag) a u32 flag.
+The second argument (cmd) of hw_control_configure() method can be used to do various
+operations for the specific blink mode. We currently support ENABLE, DISABLE, READ, ZERO
+and SUPPORTED to enable, disable, read the state of the blink mode, ask the LED
+driver if it does supports the specific blink mode and to reset any blink mode active.
+
+In ENABLE/DISABLE hw_control_configure() should configure the LED to enable/disable the
+requested blink mode (flag).
+In READ hw_control_configure() should return 0 or 1 based on the status of the requested
+blink mode (flag).
+In SUPPORTED hw_control_configure() should return 0 or 1 if the LED driver supports the
+requested blink mode (flags) or not.
+In ZERO hw_control_configure() should return 0 with success operation or error.
+
+The unsigned long flag is specific to the trigger and change across them. It's in the LED
+driver interest know how to elaborate this flag and to declare support for a
+particular trigger. For this exact reason explicit support for the specific
+trigger is mandatory or the driver returns -EOPNOTSUPP if asked to enter offload mode
+with a not supported trigger.
+If the driver returns -EOPNOTSUPP on hw_control_configure(), the trigger activation will
+fail as the driver doesn't support that specific offload trigger or doesn't know
+how to handle the provided flags.
