[PATCH v2 0/3] leds: add driver for SPI driven WorldSemi WS2812B RGB LEDs

From: Chuanhong Guo

This patch adds support for driving a chain of WS2812B LED chips
using SPI bus.

WorldSemi WS2812B is a individually addressable LED chip that
can be chained together and controlled individually using a
single wire. The chip recognize a long pulse as a bit of 1 and
a short pulse as a bit of 0. Host sends a continuous stream
of 24-bits color values, each LED chip takes the first 3 byte
it receives as its color value and passes the leftover bytes to
the next LED on the chain.

This driver simulates this protocol using SPI bus by sending
a long pulse as 3'b110 and a short pulse as 3'b100. The SPI
frequency needs to be 2.105MHz~2.85MHz for the timing to be
correct and the controller needs to transfer all the bytes
continuously.

Changes since v1:
various dt binding fixes
add support for default-brightness
