[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: leds: gpio: Add optional retain-state-shutdown property

From: Andrew Jeffery <hidden>
Date: 2017-08-28 00:18:11
Also in: linux-leds, lkml, openbmc
Subsystem: led subsystem, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Lee Jones, Pavel Machek, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

On Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) systems it's sometimes
necessary for a LED to retain its state across a BMC reset (which is
independent of the host system state). Add a devicetree property to
describe this behaviour. The property would typically be used in
conjunction with 'default-state = "keep"'.
