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

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On 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"'.
