Marc Dietrich ac56268057 staging: nvec: rename led driver to board specific paz00 driver 
The led driver used OEM commands which are not part of the nvec protocol
definition. Therefore it is renamed to nvec_paz00 to reflect that it only
applies to PAZ00 board based devices.

NVEC: An NVidia compliant Embedded Controller Protocol Implemenation

This is an implementation of the NVEC protocol used to communicate with an
embedded controller (EC) via I2C bus. The EC is an I2C master while the host
processor is the I2C slave. Requests from the host processor to the EC are
started by triggering a gpio line.

There is no written documentation of the protocol available to the public,
but the source code[1] of the published nvec reference drivers can be a guide.
This driver is currently only used by the AC100 project[2], but it is likely,
that other Tegra boards (not yet mainlined, if ever) also use it.
