[PATCH v4 0/3] leds: Add control of the voltage/current regulator to the LED core

[Jean-Jacques Hiblot <jjhiblot@ti.com>]

This series makes it possible for the LED core to manage the power supply
of a LED. It uses the regulator API to disable/enable the power if when the
LED is turned on/off.
This is especially useful in situations where the LED driver/controller is
not supplying the power.
Because updating a regulator state can block, it is always defered to
set_brightness_delayed().

changes in v4:
- Add a new patch to make led_set_brightness_sync() use
  led_set_brightness_nosleep() and then wait the work to be done
- Rework how the core knows how the regulator needs to be updated.

changes in v3:
- reword device-tree description
- reword commit log
- remove regulator updates from functions used in atomic context. If the
  regulator must be updated, it is defered to a workqueue.
- Fix led_set_brightness_sync() to work with the non-blocking function
  __led_set_brightness()

changes in v2:
- use devm_regulator_get_optional() to avoid using the dummy regulator and
  do some unnecessary work
