Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking. The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.
Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it. To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.
As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

The leds-gpio blink_set() callback follows the same prototype as the
main leds subsystem blink_set() one.
The problem is that to stop blink, normally, a leds driver does it
in the brightness_set() callback when asked to set a new fixed value.
However, with leds-gpio, the platform has no hook to do so, as this
later callback results in a standard GPIO manipulation.
This changes the leds-gpio specific callback to take a new argument
that indicates whether the LED should be blinking or not and in what
state it should be set if not. We also update the dns323 platform
which seems to be the only user of this so far.

There already is a "default-on" trigger but there are problems with it.
For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support
to be compiled in.
But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED. The GPIO is
allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is
turned back on. If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or
action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on
to off to on. While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be
noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems.
One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware
alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch.
Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus
hanging with the LED in the wrong state. This is not just speculation, but
actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which
should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the
incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code.
We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current
state of the GPIO line is. On some systems the LEDs are put into some
state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to
have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux.
This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of
output GPIOs. Some drivers support this and some do not.
The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data
"default_state" that controls this. There are three constants defined to
select from on, off, or keeping the current state. The OpenFirmware
binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on",
"off", or "keep". The default if the property isn't present is off.

The default_trigger fields of struct gpio_led and thus struct
led_classdev are pretty much always assigned from a string literal,
which means the string can't be modified. Which is fine, since there is
no reason to modify the string and in fact it never is.
But they should be marked const to prevent such code from being added,
to prevent warnings if -Wwrite-strings is used, when assigned from a
constant string other than a string literal (which produces a warning
under current kernel compiler flags), and for general good coding
practices.

Some led hardware allows drivers to query the led state, and this patch
adds a hook to let the led class take advantage of that information when
available.
Without this functionality, when access to the led hardware is not
exclusive (i.e. firmware or hardware might change its state behind the
kernel's back), reality goes out of sync with the led class' idea of what
the led is doing, which is annoying at best.
Behaviour for drivers that do not or cannot read the led status is
unchanged.

After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be
too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
before it happened, we had introduced the functions
device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
normal device unregistration instead.
