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.

Changes since v1:
rename the driver to drop -spi suffix
add support for default-brightness
use fwnode apis for properties
Changes since v2:
drop default-brightness and default-intensity
Changes since v3:
1. add more comments
2. rename reg to cascade
3. redo some line breaking
4. move duplicated pointer calculation into ws2812b_set_byte
5. reword error message
6. get ws2812b_priv from led cdev->dev->parent

+ * ws2812b_set_byte - convert a byte of data to 3-byte SPI data for pulses
+ * @priv: pointer to the private data structure
+ * @offset: offset of the target byte in the data stream
+ * @val: 1-byte data to be set
+ *
+ * WS2812B receives a stream of bytes from DI, takes the first 3 byte as LED
+ * brightness and pases the rest to the next LED through the DO pin.
+ * This function assembles a single byte of data to the LED:
+ * A bit is represented with a pulse of specific length. A long pulse is a 1
+ * and a short pulse is a 0.
+ * SPI transfers data continuously, MSB first. We can send 3'b100 to create a
+ * 0 pulse and 3'b110 for a 1 pulse. In this way, a byte of data takes up 3
+ * bytes in a SPI transfer:
+ * 1x0 1x0 1x0 1x0 1x0 1x0 1x0 1x0
+ * Let's rearrange it in 8 bits:
+ * 1x01x01x 01x01x01 x01x01x0
+ * The higher 3 bits, middle 2 bits and lower 3 bits are represented with the
+ * 1st, 2nd and 3rd byte in the SPI transfer respectively.
+ * There are only 8 combinations for 3 bits and 4 for 2 bits, so we can create
+ * a lookup table for the 3 bytes.
+ * e.g. For 0x6b -> 2'b01101011:
+ * Bit 7-5: 3'b011 -> 10011011 -> 0x9b
+ * Bit 4-3: 2'b01 -> 01001101 -> 0x4d
+ * Bit 2-0: 3'b011 -> 00110110 -> 0x36
