leds: is32fl3207: Add controller driver

Add an I2C driver for the Lumissil IS32FL3207 18-channel LED controller.
Individual and multicolor LEDs are exposed through the LED class, with
support for brightness and channel scaling.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this fail to latch the zeroed scaling registers, leading to a brief LED
flash during hardware initialization?

The zeroing of the scaling registers is performed in software shutdown without
entering normal operation or issuing a PWM_UPDATE, leaving the active hardware
registers at their old values.

[Severity: Medium]
When normal operation is enabled here to issue the software reset, will the
unlatched active registers drive the LEDs using their retained pre-boot values
and cause a flash?

The controller requires normal operation and a write to the PWM_UPDATE
register to latch new values into the active output stages. Because the
zeroed scaling values remain unlatched in shadow registers, this write to
enable normal operation causes the active registers to hold their pre-reboot
retained values, briefly illuminating the LEDs until the reset is processed.
