Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] leds: expresswire: don't depend on NEW_LEDS

The ExpressWire library does not depend on NEW_LEDS and selecting it
from a subsystem other than LEDs may cause Kconfig warnings:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for LEDS_EXPRESSWIRE
  Depends on [n]: NEW_LEDS [=n] && GPIOLIB [=y]
  Selected by [y]:
  - BACKLIGHT_KTD2801 [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE [=y]

Move it out of the "if NEW_LEDS" block to allow selection from other
subsystems (in particular backlight) without raising this warning.

Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/20240212111819.936815-1-arnd@kernel.org
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202402161410.IG9I4odj-lkp@intel.com/
