This patch series adds support for the TI/National Semiconductor LP5812
4x3 matrix RGB LED driver. The driver supports features such as autonomous
animation and time-cross-multiplexing (TCM) for dynamic LED effects.

Changes in v8:
- Move driver to drivers/auxdisplay/ instead of drivers/leds/.
- Rename files from leds-lp5812.c/.h to lp5812.c/.h.
- Move ti,lp5812.yaml binding to auxdisplay/ directory,
  and update the title and $id to match new path.
- No functional changes to the binding itself (keep Reviewed-by).
- Update commit messages and patch titles to reflect the move.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20250422190121.46839-1-trannamatk@gmail.com/

Changes in v7:
- Mark `chip_leds_map` as const.
- Use consistent `ret` initialization.
- Simplify the function `set_mix_sel_led()`.
- Refactor `dev_config_show()` and `led_auto_animation_show()` to avoid temp buffer, malloc/free.
- Simplify the code and ensure consistent use of mutex lock/unlock in show/store functions.
- Remove `total_leds` and `total_aeu`.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20250419184333.56617-1-trannamatk@gmail.com/

Changes in v6:
- Add `vcc-supply` property to describe the LP5812 power supply.
- Remove `chan-name` property and entire LED subnodes, as they are not needed.
- Update LP5812 LED driver node to Raspberry Pi 4 B Device Tree, based on updated binding.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20250414145742.35713-1-trannamatk@gmail.com/

Changes in v5:
- Rebase on v6.15-rc2
- Removed unused functions (lp5812_dump_regs, lp5812_update_bit).
- Address Krzysztof's review comments
