leds: st1202: Stop pattern sequence before reprogramming

The LED1202 datasheet (section 4.8) states that modifications to the
Pattern Sequence Repetition register (PAT_REP) and pattern duration
registers are only applied after the sequence has completed or been
stopped. When the device is running in infinite loop mode (PAT_REP =
0xFF) the sequence never completes on its own, so these writes are
silently ignored by the hardware.

Neither pattern_clear() nor pattern_set() stop the running sequence
before modifying pattern registers, causing any subsequent pattern
reprogramming to have no effect when the previous pattern was set to
infinite repeat.

Fix this by clearing PATS in the Configuration register before touching
any pattern registers in both functions, ensuring the hardware accepts
the new values immediately.

Note that the LED1202 has a single global pattern sequencer shared by
all channels: PATS, PATSR, the duration registers, and PAT_REP are
chip-wide. Stopping the sequencer in pattern_clear() therefore halts
any pattern running on other channels. This is an inherent hardware
constraint; pattern_set() restarts the sequencer when a new pattern is
programmed.
