From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
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.

v3: simplify gpio_led_get_gpiod
v2: rework a little bit to keep the legacy code path more separate,
extend changelog description
Related to this, we may also want to remove support for passing
a gpio descriptor in the ->gpiod flag. The only user doing this
at the moment was introduced in commit 1892e87a3e91 ("powerpc/warp:
switch to using gpiod API").
