This might be a misunderstanding. My patch is not meant to replace
anything for driving the LEDs once the kernel is fully loaded. The LED
subsystem offers quite a lot of possibilities to do this.

My patch mainly deals with the 'default' state of the LEDs immediately
when the driver gets loaded.
Here is an example: I have a system with a LED named 'RUN' which is
turned on steady by U-Boot (indicating "system booting"). When the
PCA9532 driver loads this LED gets turned off due to initialization.
However I would like it remain lit until later a script will make that
'RUN' LED blink (indicating "system running"). This script will of
course use the existing LED subsystem to do so. To keep the 'RUN' LED
lit I need the DT property 'default-state' being set to 'PCA9532_KEEP'.

regards, Felix
