How to add new device (Toradex Colibri) to allow controlling WS2811/WS2812 LED strips?

I am trying to control LED strips (WS281X) using the GPIO interface on a [Colibri iMX7](https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules/colibri-arm-family/nxp-freescale-imx7) (see data sheet in the attachments or the link).

As far as I understood, I would need to create `GpioDeviceFactoryInterface`? How would I go about that?
The Colibri device also have PWM pins if that is easier.

[colibri_arm_som_imx7_datasheet.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16753299/colibri_arm_som_imx7_datasheet.pdf)


```java
import com.diozero.devices.LED;

public class LEDTest {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try (LED led = new LED(1)) {
      led.on();
    }
  }
}
```
has the output:
```
WARN com.diozero.sbc.LocalSystemInfo.populateFromLsCpu - Error with lscpu command: Cannot run program "lscpu": error=2, No such file or directory
ERROR bridge.LEDTest.main - com.diozero.api.NoSuchDeviceException: No such GPIO #1

        at com.diozero.devices.LED.<init>(LED.java:82)
        at bridge.LEDTest.main(LEDTest.java:14)
```

Executing:
```java
    NativeDeviceFactoryInterface x = DeviceFactoryHelper.getNativeDeviceFactory();
    Logger.info(x.getBoardPinInfo().getGpioPins());
```

has the output:
```
INFO bridge.LEDTest.main - []
```


```
