[PATCH v12] ath10k: add LED and GPIO controlling support for various chipsets

there is no duplicated code introduced and there is no solution for it. 
consider that all wifi drivers with softled support
are going that way with registering a own led driver. see ath9k for 
instance. gpio-led cannot be used for it and there is no way to
support multiple platform datas with the same name. its a kernel limitation
