From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

commit 4dbf066d965cd3299fb396f1375d10423c9c625c upstream.

A user reports that on their Lenovo Corsola Magneton with EC firmware
steelix-15194.270.0 the driver probe fails with EINVAL. It turns out
that the power LED does not contain any color components as indicated
by the following "ectool led power query" output:

Brightness range for LED 1:
red : 0x0
green : 0x0
blue : 0x0
yellow : 0x0
white : 0x0
amber : 0x0

The LED also does not react to commands sent manually through ectool and
is generally non-functional.

Instead of failing the probe for all LEDs managed by the EC when one
without color components is encountered, silently skip those.
