leds: rgb: leds-group-multicolor: Implement default-intensity

Currently it is not possible to specify the initial color of a LED multicol=
or
group during boot. This commit implements the default-intensity property
similar to the leds-pwm-multicolor driver, falling back to the maximum
intensity if the property is missing.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this parse the default-intensity property from the correct node?

Based on the device tree binding documentation for leds-group-multicolor, t=
he
default-intensity property is expected to be located in the parent multicol=
or
group node.

However, in leds_gmc_probe(), the driver attempts to read it from the
monochromatic sub-LED fwnode instead:

    ret =3D fwnode_property_read_u32(led_cdev->dev->fwnode, "default-intens=
ity",
                                   &subled[i].intensity);

Does this code ignore valid configurations where the property is placed in =
the
parent node according to the schema?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is there a potential integer overflow and
division by zero when scaling brightness in leds_gmc_set()?

When leds_gmc_set() calculates the brightness for the monochromatic sub-LED=
s,
it uses 32-bit unsigned arithmetic:

drivers/leds/rgb/leds-group-multicolor.c:leds_gmc_set() {
    ...
    mono_brightness =3D DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(brightness * intensity * mono_max=
_brightness,
                                        group_max_brightness * group_max_br=
ightness);
    ...
}

If the underlying LEDs have high max_brightness values configured (for exam=
ple,
65535 for a PWM period), the numerator can wrap around, resulting in a
calculated brightness of 0.

Furthermore, if group_max_brightness happens to be exactly 65536, the
denominator overflows to exactly 0, which would lead to a division by zero
panic during brightness adjustment.

Could this arithmetic be adjusted to prevent overflows with high brightness
values?
