[PATCH] leds-gpio: fix possible crash on OF device unbinding

From: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov
Date: Sun Nov 15 2009 - 17:48:41 EST


If there are leds present in the OF tree, but the GPIOs for (some) of
them are unavailable, led_data doesn't get populated with correct
devices. Then, on device unbinding, one can crash the kernel.

Workaround this by setting led->gpio to invalid value early.
