Trent Piepho ed88bae691 leds: Add options to have GPIO LEDs start on or keep their state
There already is a "default-on" trigger but there are problems with it.

For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support
to be compiled in.

But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED.  The GPIO is
allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is
turned back on.  If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or
action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on
to off to on.  While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be
noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems.

One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware
alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch.

Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus
hanging with the LED in the wrong state.  This is not just speculation, but
actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which
should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the
incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code.

We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current
state of the GPIO line is.  On some systems the LEDs are put into some
state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to
have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux.

This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of
output GPIOs.  Some drivers support this and some do not.

The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data
"default_state" that controls this.  There are three constants defined to
select from on, off, or keeping the current state.  The OpenFirmware
binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on",
"off", or "keep".  The default if the property isn't present is off.

Guennadi Liakhovetski 1bd465e6b0 leds: allow led-drivers to use a variable range of brightness values
This patch allows drivers to override the default maximum brightness value
of 255.  We take care to preserve backwards-compatibility as much as
possible, so that user-space ABI doesn't change for existing drivers.
LED trigger code has also been updated to use the per-LED maximum.

Richard Purdie 859cb7f2a4 leds: Add suspend/resume to the core class
Add suspend/resume to the core class and remove all the now unneeded
code from various drivers. Originally the class code couldn't support
suspend/resume but since class_device can there is no reason for
each driver doing its own suspend/resume anymore.

Trent Piepho 326bb8a5a1 leds: Make default trigger fields const
The default_trigger fields of struct gpio_led and thus struct
led_classdev are pretty much always assigned from a string literal,
which means the string can't be modified.  Which is fine, since there is
no reason to modify the string and in fact it never is.

But they should be marked const to prevent such code from being added,
to prevent warnings if -Wwrite-strings is used, when assigned from a
constant string other than a string literal (which produces a warning
under current kernel compiler flags), and for general good coding
practices.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 29d76dfa29 leds: Add support to leds with readable status
Some led hardware allows drivers to query the led state, and this patch
adds a hook to let the led class take advantage of that information when
available.

Without this functionality, when access to the led hardware is not
exclusive (i.e. firmware or hardware might change its state behind the
kernel's back), reality goes out of sync with the led class' idea of what
the led is doing, which is annoying at best.

Behaviour for drivers that do not or cannot read the led status is
unchanged.

Rafael J. Wysocki b844eba292 PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()
After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
concurrent operations involving device objects.  That proved to be
too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
before it happened, we had introduced the functions
device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
drivers to use them.  Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
normal device unregistration instead.
