leds: gpio: Make legacy gpiolib interface optional

Browse source

There are still a handful of ancient mips/armv5/sh boards that use the
gpio_led:gpio member to pass an old-style gpio number, but all modern
users have been converted to gpio descriptors.

While the CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY option that guards devm_gpio_request_one()
and related helpers is currently turned on in all kernel builds,
the plan is to only enable it on the few platforms that actually
pass gpio numbers in any platform_data.

Split out the legacy portion of the platform_data handling into a custom
helper function that is guarded with in #ifdef block, to allow the
the leds-gpio driver to compile cleanly when CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY
gets turned off. Once the last user is converted, this function can
be removed.
