Subject: [PATCH 01/11] leds: add binding for LEDs hw control

Add an option to permit LED driver to declare support for a specific
trigger to use hw control and setup the LED to blink based on specific
provided modes.

Add binding for LEDs hw control. These functions will be used to activate
hardware control where a LED will use the provided flags, from an
unique defined supported trigger, to setup the LED to be driven by
hardware.

Deactivate hardware blink control by setting brightness to LED_OFF via
the brightness_set() callback.
