[U-Boot] allow LED initialization without STATUS_LED_BOOT

For current U-Boot to initialize status LEDs via status_led_init(), it 
is required to have both CONFIG_STATUS_LED and STATUS_LED_BOOT defined. 
This may be a particular concern with GPIO LEDs, where __led_init() is 
required to correctly set up the GPIO (gpio_request and 
gpio_direction_output). Without STATUS_LED_BOOT the initialization isn't 
called, which could leave the user with a non-functional "led" command - 
due to the fact that the LED routines in gpio_led.c use gpio_set_value() 
just fine, but the GPIO never got set up properly in the first place.

I think having CONFIG_STATUS_LED is sufficient to justify a 
corresponding call to status_led_init(), even with no STATUS_LED_BOOT 
defined. To do so, common/board_r.c needs some way to call that routine 
either directly (which probably requires exposing it via status_led.h) 
or indirectly. For the latter, I've attached a patch that (ab)uses an 
invalid LED id in status_led_set() to enforce the init.

Regards, B. Nortmann
