Add basic code to turn on and off WLEDs and wire up MT6332 support
to take advantage of it.
This is a simple approach due to the aforementioned PMIC supporting
only on/off status so, at the time of writing, it is impossible for me
to validate more advanced functionality due to lack of hardware.

After this patch as commit 9bb0a9e0626c ("leds: leds-mt6323: Add support
for WLEDs and MT6332") in -next, I see the following warnings from
clang, which are basically flagging potential kernel Control Flow
Integrity [1] violations that will be visible at runtime (this warning
is not enabled for the kernel yet but we would like it to be):

   drivers/leds/leds-mt6323.c:598:49: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'int (*)(struct led_classdev *, enum led_brightness)' from 'int (struct led_classdev *, unsigned int)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]

 From what I can tell/understand, 'enum led_brightness' is obsolete and
the value that is passed via ->brightness_set_blocking() is an 'unsigned
int' as well but it seems 'enum led_brightness' is used as the parameter
in a lot of different callback implementations, so the prototype cannot
be easily updated without a lot of extra work. Is there any reason not
to just do something like this to avoid this issue?


I don't think that this would bring any issue to the table.

The rework will possibly be done globally, for all drivers, when time comes... so
feel free to send the proposed patch.

Thanks,
Angelo
