This patch adds support for driving a chain of WS2812B LED chips using SPI bus. WorldSemi WS2812B is a individually addressable LED chip that can be chained together and controlled individually using a single wire. The chip recognize a long pulse as a bit of 1 and a short pulse as a bit of 0. Host sends a continuous stream of 24-bits color values, each LED chip takes the first 3 byte it receives as its color value and passes the leftover bytes to the next LED on the chain. This driver simulates this protocol using SPI bus by sending a long pulse as 3'b110 and a short pulse as 3'b100. The SPI frequency needs to be 2.105MHz~2.85MHz for the timing to be correct and the controller needs to transfer all the bytes continuously.
