dt-bindings: leds: Add pattern initialization from Device Tree

Document new led-pattern property for initialization of LED triggers.
The property format is trigger-specific (except being array of
integers).  For pattern trigger, the explanation of pattern format was
moved to a common file shared with sysfs ABI.

 		timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
 
 		The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and

-		each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
-		0 means brightness should immediately change to new value, and
-		writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one.
+		duration (ms).
 
-		1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50
-		milliseconds. So the tuple with duration less than dimming
-		interval (50ms) is treated as a step change of brightness,
-		i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without adding
-		intervening dimming intervals.
-
-		The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be:
-		"brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3
-		duration_3 ...". For example:
-
-		echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
-
-		It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255)
-		intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000

-		brightness_2 0 ...". For example:
-
-		echo 0 1000 0 0 255 2000 255 0 > pattern
