[PATCH 1/2] leds: lp5860: Fix compilation as module

From: Steffen Trumtrar

Date: Thu Jan 29 2026 - 04:46:58 EST


When the lp5860 is compiled as module, the lp5860_device_init/remove
functions must be exported or the spi-specific module can not use these
functions and the compilation will fail.

Add the needed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL calls and while at it the
MODULE_LICENSE and _DESCRIPTION for the lp5860-core module.
