Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The `default-intensity` property read from individual monochromatic LED nodes is applied to the multicolor group without rescaling, causing incorrect brightness calculations.

leds: rgb: leds-group-multicolor: Implement default-intensity

This commit introduces support for the default-intensity property during
boot for LED multicolor groups. If the property is missing, the code falls
back to the previous behavior of configuring the sub-LED intensity to its
maximum.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this logic properly scale the intensity when the individual LEDs in the
group have different maximum brightness values?

If a multicolor group consists of LEDs with vastly different maximum brightness
capabilities (like a GPIO LED maxing at 1 and a PWM LED maxing at 255), the
overall group max_brightness will evaluate to 255.

When reading the default-intensity from the device tree, the value is typically
specified on the scale of the individual sub-LED's max brightness. If this
value is assigned directly to subled[i].intensity without being scaled up to
the group's max_brightness, the sub-LED might be initialized with only a tiny
fraction of its intended intensity, often resulting in the LED being completely
unlit instead of at the requested intensity.
