Add a generic [devm_]led_get() method which can be used on both devicetree and non devicetree platforms to get a LED classdev associated with a specific function on a specific device, e.g. the privacy LED associated with a specific camera sensor. Note unlike of_led_get() this takes a string describing the function rather then an index. This is done because e.g. camera sensors might have a privacy LED, or a flash LED, or both and using an index approach leaves it unclear what the function of index 0 is if there is only 1 LED. This uses a lookup-table mechanism for non devicetree platforms. This allows the platform code to map specific LED class_dev-s to a specific device,function combinations this way. For devicetree platforms getting the LED by function-name could be made to work using the standard devicetree pattern of adding a -names string array to map names to the indexes.

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.
