This series is a reworked version of the previous seried: misc: introduce STATUS LED activity function
This series port and expand the legacy concept of LED boot from the legacy Status LED API to new LED API.
One thing that many device need is a way to communicate to the user that the device is actually doing something.
This is especially useful for recovery steps where an user (for example) insert an USB drive, keep a button pressed and the device autorecover.
There is currently no way to signal the user externally that the bootloader is processing/recoverying aside from setting a LED on.
A solid LED on is not enough and won't actually signal any kind of progress. Solution is the good old blinking LED but uboot doesn't suggest (and support) interrupts and almost all the LED are usually GPIO LED that doesn't support HW blink.
To fix this and handle the problem of device not supporting HW blink, expand the GPIO LED framework with support for SW blink with the new Kconfig.
Additional Kconfg are also introduced to set the LED boot and activity. Those are referenced by label.
A documentation for old and these new LED API is created.
