There is already retain-state-suspended property defined in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-gpio.txt and used
in drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c. Now if we are going to add generic
pm_qos support to the LED core, the DT property should be made generic
too and moved to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt.
Then, if the property is present, we shouldn't expose this setting
to the userspace, see below.

Please also address problems detected by build bot [0].

So this part should be executed conditionally only if
retain-state-suspended wasn't defined. BTW you will have
to rebase your code onto some more recent code base.
led_classdev_register() was renamed to of_led_classdev_register()
in 4.12 and it now accepts struct device_node. leds-gpio.c was
already changed to use it so it will be convenient to test the use case
with retain-state-suspended DT property.
