[PATCH V4] leds: rgb: leds-group-multicolor: Implement default-intensity

From: Stefan Wahren

Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 05:18:28 EST


Currently it's not possible to specify the initial color of a LED
multicolor group during boot. So implement the default-intensity property
similar to the leds-pwm-multicolor driver. In case the property is
missing, the old behavior is kept.

Changes in V4:
- use device_property_read_u32 instead of fwnode_property_read_u32
- simplify if statement as suggested by Lee
- drop obvious comment

Changes in V3:
- drop unnecessary patch for leds-group-multicolor.yaml
- add Jonas' RB

Changes in V2:
- adapt to approach (incl. error behavior) by Jonas Rebmann [2]
- address comments by Lee which still apply
