Add abstractions for a simple LED, supporting Single color LED and
hardware accelerated blinking.

This is implemented using a pinned Led struct which holds driver data
and the C led_classdev struct. The driver data then implements a
vtable which currently provides `brightness_set`, `brightness_get` and
`blink_set`. This LED is then registered with the LED core and
unregistered when it is dropped.

Why these repetitions?

How does Rust compile these? If these constants compile to the same
numeric values, i.e. if
  LED_COLOR_ID_AMBER == Color::Amber,
will the compiler compile away the function?

How do enums work in Rust?

These LED_OFF, LED_ON, LED_HALF and LED_FULL are deprecated constants
that should not be used anymore. enum led_brightness will be either
uint8_t or usigned int in the future.

Is it possible to not infect Rust with these deprecated constants?

My guess is that it's to silence the warning about undocumented public
items. It may make sense to just silence the warning in this case.

Well, it can't compile away the part where it returns EINVAL when the
u32 is not a valid color. But other than that, these matches are
usually optimized pretty well. I just tried a few different examples
in godbolt to confirm it. See e.g.:
https://rust.godbolt.org/z/WWM7891zW

That said, this relies on the assumption that they are represented
using the same values. We probably want to change the declaration to
this:

#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
pub enum Color {
    White = bindings::LED_COLOR_ID_WHITE,
    Red = bindings::LED_COLOR_ID_RED,
    Green = bindings::LED_COLOR_ID_GREEN,
    ...
}

That way we are guaranteed that the enum uses the right values for the
enum to make the conversion free.

> How do enums work in Rust?

In this case, the enum has no fields. In that case, the enum is a
value that is only allowed to have certain values.

Enums are also allowed to have fields. In this case, you can think of
it as a discriminated union, though in some cases Rust will store it
in a more clever way. You can look up the "null pointer optimization"
for an example of that.

Things starting with a tick are lifetimes, so 'a is the name of a
lifetime. That said, this usage of lifetimes looks incorrect to me, so
I wouldn't look too closely at this instance.

As for impl<>, then yes sort of. It is the <> that makes it like a
template. When you have an `impl TypeName { ... }` block, then that
defines methods for `TypeName`, which you can call as either
`value.method(...)` or `TypeName::method(...)` depending on the
signature. When you write `impl<T>`, then this means that it is a
template (we use the word "generic" in Rust rather than "template"),
that is

impl<T> TypeName<T> { ... }

becomes the following infinite list of impl blocks:

impl TypeName<i32> { ... }
impl TypeName<u32> { ... }
impl TypeName<String> { ... }
impl TypeName<TcpStream> { ... }
// ... and so on for all possible types

This logic works anywhere that <T> appears. For example, `struct
TypeName<T> { ... }` is short-hand for the following infinite list of
structs:

struct TypeName<i32> { ... }
struct TypeName<u32> { ... }
struct TypeName<String> { ... }
struct TypeName<TcpStream> { ... }
// ... and so on for all possible types

Of course, only things in this infinite list that you actually use end
up in the final binary.

The `where T: Operations` part is a filter for the infinite list. It
restricts it so that only types `T` that implement the `Operations`
trait are present in the list; all other types are filtered out.

> > +where
> > +    T: Operations + 'a,
>
> What does + mean here?

This is the same as:
where
    T: Operations,
    T: 'a
that is, apply two filters to the infinite list I mentioned above. The
meaning of `T: 'a` when the RHS is a lifetime is that `T` must not be
a type containing a lifetime annotation shorter than 'a.

This usage of lifetimes looks incorrect to me. It looks like you are
trying to say that the references must be valid for longer than the
Led<T>, but what you are writing here does not enforce that. The Led
struct must be annotated with the 'a lifetime if you want that, but
I'm inclined to say you should not go for the lifetime solution in the
first place.

Marek: a main difference is that generics in Rust require you to spell
out everything your type needs in order to be able to use it in the
implementation, unlike C++ templates which will gladly accept any type
as long as the resulting code compiles (i.e. whether the types make
sense or not).

So in C++ you may typically do just `T`, while in Rust you typically
restrict your types with bounds and `where`s clauses like Alice shows.

I hope that clarifies a bit!

Cheers,
Miguel

The `led_classdev_register_ext` function copies the name, therefore the idea was that the name only has to exists until the pin init function is called, which should be the case with how I used the lifetimes here
