[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: gpio: fairchild,74hc595: add support for nxp,74lv164

[Christian Marangi]

Document support for nxp,74lv164 as a variant of the currently supported
8-bit shift register with the only difference of not having an Output
Enable pin and a simulated Chip Select pin.

These basic 8-bit shift register chips directly change the outputs as bits
are shifted in. Particularly used to handle multiple LED for basic state
feedback.

[PATCH 2/2] gpio: 74x164: add support for 74lv164 shift register variant

[Christian Marangi]

Add compatible and spi define to support 74lv164 shift register variant.
These work the same way as the 59x chip family with the only difference of
not having a "storage" feature by directly changing the outputs as bits are
shifted in without having to toggle extra pins.
