Summary
Support for SK9822 type LEDs is added with global brightness control feature.
SK9822 type LEDs allow for 5-Bit (32 level) brightness adjustment using simultaneous regulation of R/G/B LED current. This allows for fine granular control of output light levels while maintaining full 8-Bit grayscale resolution. Even though the LED type is generally compatible with APA 102 style LEDs, the constant current regulation function shows compatibility issues with the existing implementation of the APA 102 control protocol.
This PR introduces support for SK9822 devices via SPI. Maximum current (brightness) level is user controllable on the 32 value scale. Also, low luminosity (near black) colors below a user defined threshold are converted such that optimal grayscale resolution is archived on a per LED basis over full brightness range, especially on the low end.
