Synology uses a microcontroller in their NAS devices connected to a
serial port to control certain LEDs, fan speeds, a beeper, to handle
proper shutdown and restart, buttons and fan failures.
This patch series depends on the rust led abstraction [1] and the rust
serdev abstraction [2].
This is only a initial version of the driver able to control LEDs.
The following rust abstractions would be required, to implement the
remaining features:
- hwmon (include/linux/hwmon.h)
- input (include/linux/input.h)
- sysoff handler + hardware protection shutdown (include/linux/reboot.h)

Changes in v2:
- fix missing tabs in MAINTAINERS file
- remove word binding from patch subject
- add missing signed-off-by
- add missing help entry in Kconfig
- add missing spdx license headers
- remove no-check{,-cpu}-fan properties from the dt-bindings and replace
them with the check_fan module parameter
- use patternProperties for leds in dt-bindings
- license dt-binding as GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause
- move driver from staging tree into mfd tree and mark it as work in
progress inside Kconfig
- only register alert and usb led if fwnode is present
