dt-bindings: leds: Add pattern initialization from Device Tree
Document new led-pattern property for initialization of LED triggers. The property format is trigger-specific (except being array of integers). For pattern trigger, the explanation of pattern format was moved to a common file shared with sysfs ABI.

timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
- duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and
- each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
- 0 means brightness should immediately change to new value, and
- writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one.
+ duration (ms).
- 1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50
- milliseconds. So the tuple with duration less than dimming
- interval (50ms) is treated as a step change of brightness,
- i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without adding
- intervening dimming intervals.
-
- The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be:
- "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3
- duration_3 ...". For example:
-
- echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
-
- It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255)
- intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000
- milliseconds:

- 2. To make the LED go instantly from one brightness value to another,
- we should use zero-time lengths (the brightness must be same as
- the previous tuple's). So the format should be:
- "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_1 0 brightness_2 duration_2
- brightness_2 0 ...". For example:
-
- echo 0 1000 0 0 255 2000 255 0 > pattern
-
- It will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
- for two seconds:
