The full OFF bits are set by default in the PCA9685 LEDn_OFF_H registers at POR. LEDn_ON_L/H and LEDn_OFF_L default to 0.
The datasheet states that LEDn_OFF and LEDn_ON should never be both set to the same values. This patch removes the clearing of the full OFF bit in the probe function. We still clear the rest of the OFF regs but now we set the full OFF bit to avoid having both OFF and ON registers set to 0 and start up in a safe default state.
