With the series applied, the LED bank comes up in its defined\noff-state from probe onwards; without it, the bank flashes on briefly\non every reboot until the user-space init writes the pattern.\n\nTooling:\n - scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict: 0 errors, 0 warnings on each patch\n - make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=fairchild,74hc595: passes\n (example DTS extracted, compiled, and validated against the new\n schema)\n - dt-validate on a built stm32mp153d-ssonic.dtb against the updated\n processed-schema.json: 'registers-default' accepted cleanly; no\n regressions against the rest of the 74hc595 binding\n\nPatch 1 adds the binding property. Patch 2 consumes it in the driver.\n\nThanks for your time and reviews — feedback very welcome.\n\nChanhong\n\nChanhong Jung (2):\n dt-bindings: gpio: fairchild,74hc595: add registers-default property\n gpio: 74x164: support 'registers-default' DT property for initial\n state\n\n .../bindings/gpio/fairchild,74hc595.yaml | 10 ++++++++++\n drivers/gpio/gpio-74x164.c | 14 ++++++++++++++\n 2 files changed, 24 insertions(+)\n\n--\n2.34.1" }
