leds-lp55xx: support firmware interface



 This patch provides additional device attributes which enable
 loading the firmware. ('select_engine' and 'run_engine')
 To run a LED pattern, two parts of driver should be enabled.

 Common features : lp55xx-common
 ===============================
 Firmware interface for loading LED patterns

 Chip specific features : leds-lp5521, leds-lp5523
 =================================================
 Register addresses for loading firmware data
 Register addresses for running selected engine

 Pattern programming sequence
 ============================
 LP55xx chips have three program engines.
 To load and run a LED pattern, the programming sequence is as follows.
 (1) Select an engine number (1/2/3)
 (2) Set engine mode to load
 (3) Write pattern data into selected area
 (4) Set engine mode to run

 This sequence is almost same as the firmware interface.
 (1) Select an engine number               : 'select_engine' dev attribute
 (2) Mode change to load                   : 'loading' of firmware class
 (3) Write pattern data into selected area : 'data' of firmware class
 (4) Mode change to run                    : 'run_engine' dev attribute

 (1) and (4) are device specific features which provide callback functions
 (2) and (3) are common features.

 For example,
 echo 1 or 2 or 3 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
 echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
 echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/data
 echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5521/loading
 echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine

 As soon as 'loading' is set to 0, registered callback is called.
 Inside the callback, the selected engine is loaded and memory is updated.
 To run programmed pattern, 'run_engine' attribute should be enabled.

 Device specific data structure
 ==============================
 o Firmware callback
   load selected engine and update program memory
 o Run engine
   change the engine mode
 o 'engine_idx' and firmware data, 'fw'
   Those are used in the driver internally with callback functions
