Component used: androidx.appcompat:appcompat Version used: 1.6.1 Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Marshmallow emulator (or any real device)

Sample project to repro https://github.com/denis-bezrukov/appcompat-tint-issue Screenshot: attached

Details: We have a custom view that extends AppCompatTextView (let's name it Chip):

class CustomChip @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context,
    attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
    @AttrRes defStyleAttr: Int = R.attr.testChipStyleAttr, // <--- took default style for this view from theme
) : AppCompatTextView(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

For that view we need a default style

<style name="TestChipStyle">
        <item name="android:textColor">#ff0000</item>
        <item name="drawableTint">#00ff00</item>
    </style>

So we expect red text and green icon color, and if we specify style="@style/TestChipStyle" it works as expected (see screenshot)

but if we specify this style as a default for this view via

<attr name="testChipStyleAttr" format="reference" />
....
...
<style ...
    <item name="testChipStyleAttr">@style/TestChipStyle</item>
</style>

but in this case unlike textColor, drawableTint attribute won't be applied (See screenshot)
