Roderick Colenbrander 61177c088a leds: add new LED_FUNCTION_PLAYER for player LEDs for game controllers.
Player LEDs are commonly found on game controllers from Nintendo and Sony
to indicate a player ID across a number of LEDs. For example, "Player 2"
might be indicated as "-x--" on a device with 4 LEDs where "x" means on.

This patch introduces LED_FUNCTION_PLAYER1-5 defines to properly indicate
player LEDs from the kernel. Until now there was no good standard, which
resulted in inconsistent behavior across xpad, hid-sony, hid-wiimote and
other drivers. Moving forward new drivers should use LED_FUNCTION_PLAYERx.

Note: management of Player IDs is left to user space, though a kernel
driver may pick a default value.

Pavel Machek 09f1273064 Documentation: leds: standartizing LED names
We have a list of valid functions, but LED names in sysfs are still
far from being consistent. Create list of "well known" LED names so we
nudge people towards using same LED names (except color) for same
functionality.
