Instantiate a single LED for a segment display.  This allows the user to
control display brightness and blinking through the LED class API and
triggers, and exposes the display color.
The LED will be named "auxdisplay:<color>:backlight".

What if there are multiple "auxdisplay"s ?
Doesn't this subsystem have IDs? So that you can use auxdisplayN for
device name, for example?

Or if this driver creates a fbdev, maybe "fb<N>" for devicename?

This LED device is only registered when using the HT16K33 to drive
segment displays.
When driving a dot matrix display, the driver still use fbdev and
devm_backlight_device_register(), for backwards compatibility.
