This new driver replaces the old PCEngines Alix 2/3 LED driver with a new
driver that controls the LEDs through the leds-gpio driver.  The old
driver accessed GPIOs directly, which created a conflict and prevented
also loading the cs5535-gpio driver to read other GPIOs on the Alix board.
 With this new driver, we hook into leds-gpio which in turn uses GPIO to
control the LEDs and therefore it's possible to control both the LEDs and
access onboard GPIOs

Driver is moved to platform/geode and any other geode initialisation
modules should move here also.

This driver is inspired by leds-net5501.c by Alessandro Zummo.

Ideally, leds-net5501.c should also be moved to platform/geode.
Additionally the driver relies on parts of the patch: 7f131cf3ed ("leds:
leds-alix2c - take port address from MSR) by Daniel Mack to perform
detection of the Alix board.
