OK so I coded this up. And there is not a clean way to do this since 
the channels and colors are not correlated between two structures. In 
order to do this we would have to expand the grouped_channel and 
channel_color arrays in the lp55xx_led to LED_COLOR_ID_MAX and put the 
channel and color_component value in the position in the array that is 
associated with the color ID. Then the driver can loop through the 
available colors from the MC class and get the channel and 
color_component information.

Beyond that in coding this and thinking about the design it is better to 
have the lp55xx_common code to do all the heavy lifting and the children 
to just perform the action on the device itself. So doing the loop in 
the common code like we have now and calling the intensity_fn based on x 
number of LEDs. The child subscriber to the common code should have to 
worry about the color it should only care about the channel and the value.
