"leds: leds-gpio: Add support for GPIO descriptors" broke leds-gpio on
non-DT platforms for me:

    gpiod_direction_output: invalid GPIO
    leds-gpio: probe of leds-gpio failed with error -22

(desc is NULL in gpiod_direction_output()).

DT shmobile reference/multi-platform are fine.

I noticed the hard way, as I wanted to add some LEDs to a new platform,
but couldn't get it work. It turned out it also had stopped working on
r8a7740/armadillo-legacy, so I started bisecting...

Unfortunately the offending patch can't just be reverted.
Reverting all three of these on pm/linux-next fixed the issue, though:
c673a2b400810352 leds: leds-gpio: Convert gpio_blink_set() to use GPIO descripto
a43f2cbbb009f962 leds: leds-gpio: Make use of device property API
5c51277a9ababfa4 leds: leds-gpio: Add support for GPIO descriptors

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
