This series adds several new features to the PCA995x LED driver:

- Reset GPIO
- Output current configuration
- Error reporting via sysfs (short/open circuit)
- Group brightness control (modulating individual LED brightness with a second,
  chip-global PWM signal)

The series also includes a number of low-priority fixes:

- Prevent configuration of out-of-bounds LED indices on 16-channel variants
- Avoid fwnode leaks in error paths
- Finish initializing hardware before making LED devices visible to userspace

Changelog:

v3:
- Collect Reviewed-bys
- New patch: Fix fwnode handle leaks in error paths
- New patch: Write global registers before creating LED devices
- Add chip-global sysfs groups before creating LED devices

v2:
- Collect Reviewed-bys
- Use full hardware model names in commit descriptions
- Add nxp, to output-gain property
- Fix nxp,output-gain default in binding docs
- Describe rationale for using register value directly in commit message
- New patch: Fix maximum LED index for 16-channel variants
- Use correct #includes for GPIO consumer and delays
- Use udelay for small delay
- Use sysfs_streq() for has_errors write
- Explicitly initialize MODE2 register, clear reported errors on probe
- Set GRPPWM register on probe

Allow configuring the output current to adjust for different hardware
designs.

The output gain relates the output current with an external resistor
connected to the LED driver. It does not directly correspond to a
meaningful physical unit of measurement, so we refer to the datasheet
for information on its calculation.

The pca995x_chipdef for the 16-channel variants PCA9952 and PCA9955B
correctly sets num_leds to 16, but the value was not actually used when
checking and iterating over the LEDs during probe.

Each entry in led_fwnodes needs to be put as long as no LED device has
been created for it yet - not just in the creation loop, but also in the
first loop that iterates over the child nodes.

By clearing entries in led_fwnodes once they have been used, the same
cleanup loop can be used to handle errors in both loops.

The output gain linearly configures the LED current in 255 levels; the
absolute current depends on both the gain value and the R_ext resistor
connected to the LED driver. Make the gain configurable in the Device
Tree instead of hardcoding it to 128, allowing to adjust the current
for different hardware designs.

The PCA995x has builtin failure detection. Provide sysfs files for
individual LED status (reporting "okay", "short-circuit" or
"open-circuit") as well as a global "has_errors" flag. has_errors is
sticky and must be cleared by writing "clear" to the sysfs file.

LEDs in full on mode are unaffected by group dimming. Avoid using it,
so group dimming is applied consistently.

This slightly changes the brightness at maximum (from 100% to 255/256
duty cycle), which should be imperceptible; arguably it is also more
consistent with the other brightness levels, as it will now scale
linearly from 0/256 to 255/256 over the whole range.

When LEDs are set to PWM mode with group control enabled, their
brightness can control using a global "group PWM" setting, modulating
the individual LEDs' brightness with a second PWM running at a different
frequency. This lowers the minimum duty cycle from 1/256 to 1/65536
(averaged over the modulated signal). Group brightness control is
particularly useful to adjust for different levels of ambient light.

For simplicity, group PWM mode is always enabled, with the reset default
of 255 as group brightness. This reduces the effective duty cycle by
1/256 at all individual brightness levels (the individual PWM signals
are modulated with the 255/256 duty cycle group PWM), which should be
imperceptible.
