Hans de Goede 5b916aa755 leds: cht-wcove: Add support for breathing mode use hw_pattern sysfs API
The hw-blinking of the LED controller in the Whiskey Cove PMIC can also
be used for a hw-breathing effect.

As discussed during review of v2 of the submission of the new
leds-cht-wcove driver, the LED subsystem already supports breathing mode
on several other LED controllers using the hw_pattern interface.

Implement a pattern_set callback to implement breathing mode modelled
after the breathing mode supported by the SC27xx breathing light and
Crane EL15203000 LED drivers. The Whiskey Cove PMIC's breathing mode
is closer to the EL15203000 one then to the SC27xx one since it does
not support staying high / low for a specific time, it only supports
rise and fall times.

As such the supported hw_pattern and the documentation for this is almost
a 1:1 copy of the pattern/docs for the EL15203000 breathing mode.

--------------------------------
Specify a hardware pattern for the Whiskey Cove PMIC LEDs.
The only supported pattern is hardware breathing mode::
"0 2000 1 2000"

Max-| ---

0------2------4--> time (sec)
The rise and fall times must be the same value.
Supported values are 2000, 1000, 500 and 250 for
breathing frequencies of 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 Hz.
The set pattern only controls the timing. For max brightness the last
set brightness is used and the max brightness can be changed
while breathing by writing the brightness attribute.
This is just like how blinking works in the LED subsystem,
for both sw and hw blinking the brightness can also be changed
while blinking. Breathing on this hw really is just a variant
mode of blinking.
