HID: add ThingM blink(1) USB RGB LED support
The ThingM blink(1) is an open source hardware USB RGB LED. It contains an internal EEPROM, allowing to configure up to 12 light patterns. A light pattern is a RGB color plus a fade time. This driver registers a LED class instance with additional sysfs attributes to support basic functions such as setting RGB colors, fade and playing. Other functions are still accessible through the hidraw interface. At this time, the only documentation for the device is the firmware source code from ThingM, plus a few schematics. They are available at: https://github.com/todbot/blink1 This patch is version 3. It updates the name of the source file, the driver and the led sysfs entry, according to comments from Jiri Kosina and Simon Wood.

+Description: The ThingM blink1 is an USB RGB LED. The color notation is
+ 3-byte hexadecimal. Read this attribute to get the last set
+ color. Write the 24-bit hexadecimal color to change the current
+ LED color. The default color is full white (0xFFFFFF).
+ For instance, set the color to green with: echo 00FF00 > rgb

+Description: This attribute allows to set a fade time in milliseconds for
+ the next color change. Read the attribute to know the current
+ fade time. The default value is set to 0 (no fade time). For
+ instance, set a fade time of 2 seconds with: echo 2000 > fade

+Description: This attribute is used to play/pause the light patterns. Write 1
+ to start playing, 0 to stop. Reading this attribute returns the
