Subject: [PATCH v5 1/8] leds: add support for hardware driven LEDs

Some LEDs can be driven by hardware (for example an LED connected to
an ethernet PHY or an ethernet switch can be configured to blink on
activity on the network, which in software is done by the netdev trigger).

To do such offloading, LED driver must support this and a supported
trigger must be used.

LED driver should declare the correct control mode supported and should
set the LED_SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED or LED_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED bit in the
flags parameter.
The trigger will check these bits and fail to activate if the control mode
is not supported. By default if a LED driver doesn't declare a control
mode, bit LED_SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED is assumed and set.

The LED must implement 3 main APIs:
- hw_control_status(): This asks the LED driver if hardware mode is
    enabled or not.
- hw_control_start(): This will simply enable the hardware mode for the
    LED and the LED driver should reset any active blink_mode.
- hw_control_stop(): This will simply disable the hardware mode for the
    LED. It's advised for the driver to put the LED in the old state but
    this is not enforced and putting the LED off is also accepted.

If LED_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED bit is the only control mode set
(LED_SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED not set) set hw_control_status/start/stop is
optional as the LED supports only hardware mode and any software only
trigger will reject activation.

On init an LED driver that support a hardware mode should reset every
blink mode set by default.

By setting the config CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGERS support for LEDs that can
be controlled by hardware is also enabled.

+Hardware driven LEDs
+===================================
+
+Some LEDs can be driven by hardware (for example an LED connected to
+an ethernet PHY or an ethernet switch can be configured to blink on activity on
+the network, which in software is done by the netdev trigger).
+
+To do such offloading, LED driver must support this and a supported trigger must
+be used.
+
+LED driver should declare the correct control mode supported and should set
+the LED_SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED or LED_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED bit in the flags
+parameter.
+The trigger will check these bits and fail to activate if the control mode
+is not supported. By default if a LED driver doesn't declare a control mode,
+bit LED_SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED is assumed and set.
+
+The LED must implement 3 main APIs:
+- hw_control_status(): This asks the LED driver if hardware mode is enabled
+    or not.
+- hw_control_start(): This will simply enable the hardware mode for the LED
+    and the LED driver should reset any active blink_mode.
+- hw_control_stop(): This will simply disable the hardware mode for the LED.
+    It's advised to the driver to put the LED in the old state but this is not

+hardware mode and any software only trigger will reject activation.
