There are cases where a certain default output value in the 74x164
output is needed.
For example: the imx6ul-evk board has the Ethernet PHY reset controlled
by the 74x164 chip.
After enabling the OE pin, the output pins of the 74x164 chip go to
zero by default, which makes the Ethernet PHY not to be detected.
Add a new optional property called 'registers-default' that allows
describing the default output value for each shift register.
