[PATCH v4 6/8] backlight: led-backlight: add devlink to supplier LEDs

[Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@bootlin.com>]

led-backlight is a consumer of one or multiple LED class devices, but no
devlink is created for such supplier-producer relationship. One consequence
is that removal ordered is not correctly enforced.

Issues happen for example with the following sections in a device tree
overlay:

    // An LED driver chip
    pca9632@62 {
        compatible = "nxp,pca9632";
        reg = <0x62>;

	// ...

        addon_led_pwm: led-pwm@3 {
            reg = <3>;
            label = "addon:led:pwm";
        };
    };

    backlight-addon {
        compatible = "led-backlight";
        leds = <&addon_led_pwm>;
        brightness-levels = <255>;
        default-brightness-level = <255>;
    };

On removal of the above overlay, the LED driver can be removed before the
backlight device, resulting in:

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010
    ...
    Call trace:
     led_put+0xe0/0x140
     devm_led_release+0x6c/0x98

Fix by adding a devlink between the consuming led-backlight device and the
supplying LED device.
