Subject: linux-stable 6.1.53 kernel crash on COLOR_ID_MULTI handling change

Hi Pavel,

We have running systems that use COLOR_ID_MULTI. The GPIO toggles
between two colors and we have used the identifier. RGB is not a good
fit since it is not a RGB LED. Please provide guidance.

This patch causes the system to not start: f741121a2251 leds: Fix
BUG_ON check for LED_COLOR_ID_MULTI that is always false

It was also backported to stable causing previously booting systems to
no longer boot.

Best,
Da Xue
