[PATCH RFC 2/2] ARM: add support for Cubox-i PWM-driven front panel LED

The front panel LED on the Cubox-i is driven by one of the iMX6 PWM
channels, and is wired between the PWM output and supply.  This means
that outputting a low level results in the LED being turned on, so we
need the duty cycle inverted.

There's a question about whether the output inversion should be at the
pwm or pwm-leds level - setting the output inversion bit in the iMX6
results in a PWM duty cycle of zero outputting logic zero, meaning that
the LED is fully on.  This is undesirable, as it becomes impossible to
turn the LED fully off.
