leds: Add support for hardware accelerated LED flashing
Extends the leds subsystem with a blink_set() callback function which can be optionally implemented by a LED driver. If implemented, the driver can use the hardware acceleration for blinking a LED. Signed-off-by: Márton Németh <nm127@freemail.hu> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
