This patch series has the following two WLED fixes
1. As per the current implementation, for WLED5, after
the FSC (Full Scale Current) update the driver is incorrectly
toggling the MOD_SYNC register instead of toggling the SYNC register.
The patch 1/2 fixes this by toggling the SYNC register after
FSC update.
2. Currently, the sync bits are transitioned from 1 to 0
after FSC and brightness update. As per hardware team recommendation
the FSC and brightness sync takes place from 0 to 1 transition.
The patch 2/2 fies this issue.
Changes from V1:
1. Updated the cover letter.
2. Updated the description of the patches as per Daniel's suggestion.

Currently, for WLED5, the FSC (Full scale current) setting is not
updated properly due to driver toggling the wrong register after
an FSC update.
On WLED5 we should only toggle the MOD_SYNC bit after a brightness
update. For an FSC update we need to toggle the SYNC bits instead.
Fix it by adopting the common wled3_sync_toggle() for WLED5 and
introducing new code to the brightness update path to compensate.

As per the current implementation, after FSC (Full Scale Current)
and brightness update the sync bits are transitioned from 1 to 0.
But, the FSC and brightness sync takes place during a 0 to 1
transition of the sync bits. So the hardware team recommends a
clear-then-set approach in order to guarantee such a transition
regardless of the previous register state.

This still seems to incorrectly describe the current behaviour.
Surely in most cases (i.e. every time except the first) the value of the
sync bit is 0 when the function is called and we get both a 0 to 1
and then a 1 to 0 transition.
That is why I recommended set-then-clear terminology to describe the
current behaviour. It is concise and correct.

Okay. Actually I have mentioned the "clear-and-set" in explaining the
fix.
Let me modify the same terminology in explaining the problem case also.

Yes please.
In my original review I took time to explain why patch descriptions
require care and attention and, also, why expressing the original behaviour
as 1 to 0 was inadequate. Based on the previous feedback (and reply) I
was rather surprised that the problem was only half corrected in the
next revision.
