No, please do not drop the patch.

Yes, I agree. However the two strings do not break anything and behave
analog to the 'on' or 'keep' string. Though this code could be removed
if absolutely necessary. An alternative would be to add a description
for the strings. Just to be clear: these strings have nothing to with
the exposition of device specific registers to the DT.

This patch is not about 'default-on' which is a value that could be
assigned to the property 'linux,default-trigger' (according to DT
bindings documentation file 'common.txt').
My patch does not introduce anything new with the'keep' state, it rather
completes the existing bindings according to the description in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt which states:
....
- default-state : The initial state of the LED. Valid values are "on",
"off", and "keep". If the LED is already on or off and the default-state
property is set the to same value, then no glitch should be produced
where the LED momentarily turns off (or on). The "keep" setting will
keep the LED at whatever its current state is, without producing a
glitch. The default is off if this property is not present.
....
One of my use cases is to turn a LED on by U-Boot. This LED must remain
on until eventually, under certain conditions, some userland code
changes it's state.
Setting 'default-state' to 'keep' is how you can sort of tell the
kernel, or better the driver, 'not to initialize the LED' which would
turn it off.
kind regards, Felix
