Oh, right. So, if I read this correctly, "active" is only used in the 
probe for checking if same 'reg' is given for mone than one LEDs.

If the 'active' is not used after probe then I'd prefer limiting the 
life-time to probe. Perhaps drop this from the allocated private data 
and just take it from the stack and let it go when probe is done?

This is a minor thing but if there will be other reason(s) to re-spin, 
then this might be changed?

Yours,
