[PATCH v2 3/4] leds: Let GPIO LEDs keep their current state

Let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current state of
the GPIO line is.  On some systems the LEDs are put into some state by the
firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to have them
keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux.

This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of
output GPIOs.  Some drivers support this and some do not.

The platform data for the platform device binding gets a new field
'keep_state' which turns this on.  keep_state overrides default_state.

For the OpenFirmware bindings, the "default-state" property gains a new
allowable setting "keep".
