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 v4:
- convert to monolithic driver and moved it into drivers/platform
- removed mfd rust abstraction
- moved dt-bindings to embedded-controller
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260313-synology_microp_initial-v3-0-ad6ac463a201@posteo.de
Changes in v3:
- remove `default n` from Kconfig entry, as n is the default already.
- select RUST_SERIAL_DEV_BUS_ABSTRACTIONS in Kconfig
- add mfd rust abstraction
- split core and led parts into their own driver. It should now be considered a
MFD device.
- split led part of dt binding into its own file
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260308-synology_microp_initial-v2-0-9389963f31c5@posteo.de
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
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260306-synology_microp_initial-v1-0-fcffede6448c@posteo.de
