The newly introduced Allwinner SPL LED "framework" defined a
SPL_SUNXI_LED_STATUS_STATE Kconfig symbol, that was supposed to denote
the active-low vs. active-high polarity of the LED. However this is
a bool symbol, so it will simply vanish if not defined, and we cannot use
it directly inside a C statement.

Filter the symbol through the IS_ENABLED() macro, which will return 0 if
the symbol is not defined, which is the intended value here.

This fixes configuring LEDs with active-low polarity.

Ugh, thanks for catching that!

Sorry I didn't react to the initial submission, but it feels like the
CONFIG_SPL_SUNXI_LED_STATUS_STATE symbol really means active-high if enabled
and active-low if disabled. The name would suggest that it's an int with a value
of either 0 or 1 instead.

I think it would be less confusing to call the symbol
CONFIG_SPL_SUNXI_LED_STATUS_ACTIVE_LOW and reverse its meaning, so that we can
spare defining it in most configs (that will be active-high).
Also the description currently mentions "initial state" which may be confusing
as it could refer to the state inherited after reset (e.g. due to some pull
resistor) or the state we do set in the SPL.

And while at it I would rename this to something like:
CONFIG_SPL_SUNXI_LED_STATUS_GPIO since it indicates the GPIO number, not a
specific bit in a sunxi-specific kind of register.

What do you think?

All the best,

Paul
