[PATCH 01/11] cmd: led: fix help text for blink subcommand

From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz at cherry.de>

The blink subcommand actually requires an additional parameter
(blink-freq) but not the others.

In order to simplify the help text, split the blink subcommand help text
from the off|on|toggle subcommands.

Then, fix the help text so that it is clear that the frequency is
required.

While at it, specify the duty cycle.
