Subject: [PATCH] leds-gpio: Fix default state handling on OF platforms

The driver wrongly sets default state for LEDs that don't specify
default-state property.

Currently the driver handles default state this way:

memset(&led, 0, sizeof(led));
for_each_child_of_node(np, child) {
state = of_get_property(child, "default-state", NULL);
if (state) {
if (!strcmp(state, "keep"))
led.default_state = LEDS_GPIO_DEFSTATE_KEEP;
...
}
ret = create_gpio_led(&led, ...);
}

Which means that all LEDs that do not specify default-state will
inherit the last value of the default-state property, which is wrong.

This patch fixes the issue by moving LED's template initialization
into the loop body.

Does this actually happen in any 2.6.33 driver code? If so, we might
want to merge this into 2.6.33. And perhaps earlier kernels. Or not.
There's no way for me to tell :(

Well, the code that I fixed constructs Linux structures out of
OpenFirmware device tree. OF tree is somewhat similar to ACPI or
DMI tables in x86 world. So, in general, OF isn't kernel version
dependant.

(We have an in-tree depot of device trees for reference/devel boards
in arch/powerpc/boot/dts/, but this is surely not a conclusive
list of device trees in the wild.)

Since the fix is trivial, I'd say 2.6.33. But the issue isn't major,
so no big deal if it won't make it.

Thanks!

Richard, I assume you'll pick this one up via your tree?
