drivers/leds/leds-pca955x.c: fix race condition while setting brightness on several LEDs
When issuing the following command:
for I in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/pca955x\:${I}/brightness;
done
It is possible that all the pca955x_read_ls calls are done sequentially
before any pca955x_write_ls call is done. This updates the LS only to
the last LED update in its set.
Fix this by using a global lock for the pca995x device during
pca955x_led_work. Also used a struct for shared data betreen all LEDs.
