Bool symbols implicitly default to 'n'.
A 'default n' can make sense e.g. in a Kconfig.defconfig file, if you
want to override a 'default y' on the base definition of the symbol. It
isn't used like that on any of these symbols though, and is
inconsistent.
This will make the auto-generated Kconfig documentation have "No
defaults. Implicitly defaults to n." as well, which is clearer than
'default n if ...'

This driver uses a bit-banging based technique of generating a signal
for the WS2812B LED strip. Since bit-banging is very timing sensitive,
where each CPU cycle counts, the driver uses inline assembly to
perform the most critical operataions. This initial version of the
driver only supports a Cortex-M0 implementation, and can e.g. be used
with the ZIP Halo LED strip for the BBC microbit:

The APA102 is a RGB LED with integrated controller. LEDs can be
daisy-chained and use SPI for communication. The SPI port is
configured via Device Tree.
Tested on the Adafruit Trinket M0.

The WS2812 LED driver IC has a one-wire interface which encodes bit
values as pulse widths.
The ICs themselves are basically shift registers. Roughly speaking, a
"short" pulse shifts in a zero bit, a "long" pulse shifts in a one
bit, and an inter-pulse gap exceeding a reset time threshold causes a
pixel to latch the shifted-in color values. Each chip has an output
pin for daisy chaining. Refer to the chip datsheets and comments in
Kconfig.ws2812 for more details.
To meet timing without hogging the core, this driver generates pulses
using SPI. To work, this requires the MOSI line to stay low between
SPI frames, and for inter-frame delays to be less than the reset pulse
time.
There are other ways do it (PWM + DMA on some SoCs, GPIO bit-banging
if no other tasks need the core), but this is a reasonably
general-purpose implementation.

LPD880x (e.g. LPD8803, LPD8806) devices are LED driver ICs which can
be controlled via a reduced SPI interface (clock and data only), and
support daisy chaining.
Add an led_strip driver for these devices.

This API covers drivers for strips, or strings, of individually
addressable LEDs. Both RGB and grayscale LED strip drivers can be
implemented within these APIs.
The API only provides for updating the entire strip, since not all
strips support updating individual LEDs without affecting the others.
Subsequent patches will add individual driver support.
