leds: lp8860: Do not always program EEPROM on probe

The EEPROM has limited writes and the contents might have factory set
values that should not be changed. The values currently written by this
driver are just one example of values, but might not be correct for many
use-cases. Do not overwrite the EEPROM with these example values every
probe.

At some point it would be better to populate the content of the EEPROM
based on a configuration provided by the user and check that the values
in EEPROM are not already the same to avoid unneeded write cycles.

That configuration would depend on how the device is used on the board to
which it is attached, for that Device Tree might be the right way. Until a
method can be devised, gate the EEPROM writing behind a module param.
