Subject: [PATCH] leds: LEDS_BLINK_LGM should depend on X86

The Intel Lightning Mountain (LGM) Serial Shift Output controller (SSO)
is only present on Intel Lightning Mountain SoCs. Hence add a
dependency on X86, to prevent asking the user about this driver when
configuring a kernel without Intel Lightning Mountain platform support.

While at it, merge the other dependencies into a single statement.

Parallel to serial conversion, which is also called SSO controller,
can drive external shift register for LED outputs.

This rejected, so I applied it by hand. I'm deleting the Fixes tag --
we don't want this in stable.

Thanks and best regards,
Pavel

Thank you!

Why not? Shouldn't people running stable be shielded from useless
questions while configuring their kernels?

See stable-kernel-rules. (Maybe updating them to match recent reality
would be better, but...)

Best regards,
