LEDs would behave differently depending on the blink hardware
acceleration configuration. This commit will make LEDs respond exactly
the same independently of the hardware acceleration status.
In other words, if you had two pca963x, side by side, one with blink
hardware acceleration "ON" and the other "OFF; and performed some
arbitrary sequence of API calls (e.g. turn on/off, change brightness,
change blink mode, etc.) you probably would end with not matching LED
states.
'pca963x software blink' and 'leds-gpio' behavior were used as
reference.
Actual chip used to validate this change: pca9634
Some of the unmatched behaviors being fixed are (when hw blink was "ON")
- Leds would stop blinking when the brightness was changed.
- Leds would persist their blinking mode even after being
turned off (brightness = 0).
- Leds would only blink if another led was solid (pca963x will be
forced out of low power)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
