Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/5] leds: add function to configure offload leds

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

 active HW offloading must be deactivated. In this case errors are not permitted
 in the trigger_offload() method and the driver will be set to the new trigger.
 
+The offload trigger will use the function configure_offload() provided by the driver
+that will configure the offloaded mode for the LED.
+This function passes as the first argument (offload_flags) a u32 flag.
+The second argument (cmd) of the configure_offload() method can be used to do various
+operations for the specific trigger. We currently support ENABLE, DISABLE, READ and
+SUPPORTED to enable, disable, read the state of the offload trigger and ask the LED
+driver supports the specific offload trigger.
+
+In ENABLE/DISABLE configure_offload() should configure the LED to enable/disable the
+requested trigger (flags).
+In READ configure_offload() should return 0 or 1 based on the status of the requested
+trigger (flags).
+In SUPPORTED configure_offload() should return 0 or 1 if the LED driver supports the
+requested trigger (flags) or not.
+
+The u32 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 offload 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 configure_offload(), 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.
