leds: pca963x: add multicolor LED class support

Allow grouping of individual PCA963x PWM channels into a single
multicolor LED device by adding support for the LED multicolor class.
A child node with sub-children is treated as a multicolor group,
others are treated as single leds, keeping full backwards compatibility.

[Severity: High]
If an I2C error occurs here on a subsequent iteration of the loop, could the
hardware state become desynchronized from the software state?

Earlier iterations of this loop may have successfully completed and called
pca963x_track_power_state(), which updates the software state in
led->chip->leds_on. However, returning early here skips the
pca963x_sync_power_state() call.

If the early return happens when turning on the LEDs, led->chip->leds_on will
have bits set, but the chip may still be in sleep mode. Future calls to set
brightness would then incorrectly believe the chip is already awake,
potentially leaving the hardware unresponsive until userspace explicitly turns
off every LED on the chip to reset the state.
