#ifdef CONFIG_LEDS_BRIGHTNESS_HW_CHANGED
Add an option to permit LED driver to declare support for a specific trigger to use hw control and setup the LED to blink based on specific provided modes. Add APIs for LEDs hw control. These functions will be used to activate hardware control where a LED will use the provided flags, from an unique defined supported trigger, to setup the LED to be driven by hardware. Add hw_control_is_supported() to ask the LED driver if the requested mode by the trigger are supported and the LED can be setup to follow the requested modes. Deactivate hardware blink control by setting brightness to LED_OFF via the brightness_set() callback.
