[PATCH v5 5/7] pwm: pca9685: Support staggered output ON times

[Clemens Gruber]

The PCA9685 supports staggered LED output ON times to minimize current
surges and reduce EMI.
When this new option is enabled, the ON times of each channel are
delayed by channel number x counter range / 16, which avoids asserting
all enabled outputs at the same counter value while still maintaining
the configured duty cycle of each output.
