[RFC PATCH 3/6] leds: add function to configure offload leds

[Ansuel Smith]

Add configure_offload helper to configure how the LED should work in
offload mode. The function require to support the particular trigger and
will use the passed offload_flags to elaborate the data and apply the
correct configuration. This function will then be used by the offload
trigger to request and update offload configuration.

+The offload trigger will use the function configure_offload() provided by the driver
+that will configure the offloaded mode for the LED.
+This function pass as the first argument (offload_flags) a u32 flag, it's in the LED
+driver interest how to elaborate this flags and to declare support for a particular
+offload trigger.
+The second argument (cmd) of the configure_offload() method can be used to do various
+operation for the specific trigger. We currently support ENABLE, DISABLE and READ to
+enable, disable and read the state of the offload trigger for the LED driver.
+If the driver return -ENOTSUPP on configure_offload, the trigger activation will
+fail as the driver doesn't support that specific offload trigger or don't know
+how to handle the provided flags.

 LEDs can declare the supported offload trigger using linux,supported-offload-triggers
 binding in the dts. This is just an array of string that will be used by any
 offload trigger to check the supported triggers and configure the LED offload mode
