API Change

esp_err_t esp_matter::identification::init(uint16_t endpoint_id, uint8_t identify_type,
                                            uint8_t effect_identifier = EMBER_ZCL_IDENTIFY_EFFECT_IDENTIFIER_BLINK,
                                            uint8_t effect_variant = EMBER_ZCL_IDENTIFY_EFFECT_VARIANT_DEFAULT);

• Above API now accepts the parameters for initial identification effect_identifier and effect_variant.
• If not used then default value will be used for initialization

typedef esp_err_t (*callback_t)(callback_type_t type, uint16_t endpoint_id, uint8_t effect_id, uint8_t effect_variant,
                                    void *priv_data);

• Added additional parameter effect_variant in identification callback.

esp_matter::start(event_callback_t callback, intptr_t callback_arg = static_cast<intptr_t>(NULL))

• This API now accepts a parameter to pass additional data to the event callback. By default, the data is set to NULL in the API.
