leds:lp55xx: fix firmware loading error
LP55xx driver uses not firmware file but raw data to load program through
the firmware interface.(Documents/leds/leds-lp55xx.txt)
For example, here is how to run blinking green channel pattern.
(The second engine is seleted and MUX is mapped to 'RGB' mode)
echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
echo "RGB" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
However, '/sys/class/firmware/<device name>' is not created after the
firmware loader user helper was introduced.
This feature is used in the case below.
As soon as the firmware download is requested by the driver, firmware
class subsystem tries to find the binary file.
If it gets failed, then it just falls back to user helper to load
raw data manually. Here, you can see the device file under
/sys/class/firmware/.
To make it happen, LP55xx driver requires two configurations.
1. Enable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK in Kconfig
2. Set option, 'FW_OPT_USERHELPER' on requesting the firmware data.
It means the second option should be 'false' in
request_firmware_nowait().
This option enables to load firmware data manually by calling
fw_load_from_user_helper().
