leds: netxbig: fix oops at probe time
This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference on led_dat->mode_val. Due to this bug, a kernel oops can be observed at probe time on the LaCie 2Big and 5Big v2 boards: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 [...] [<c03f244c>] (netxbig_led_probe) from [<c02c8c6c>] (platform_drv_probe+0x4c/0x9c) [<c02c8c6c>] (platform_drv_probe) from [<c02c72d0>] (driver_probe_device+0x98/0x25c) [<c02c72d0>] (driver_probe_device) from [<c02c7520>] (__driver_attach+0x8c/0x90) [<c02c7520>] (__driver_attach) from [<c02c5c24>] (bus_for_each_dev+0x68/0x94) [<c02c5c24>] (bus_for_each_dev) from [<c02c6408>] (bus_add_driver+0x124/0x1dc) [<c02c6408>] (bus_add_driver) from [<c02c7ac0>] (driver_register+0x78/0xf8) [<c02c7ac0>] (driver_register) from [<c000888c>] (do_one_initcall+0x80/0x1cc) [<c000888c>] (do_one_initcall) from [<c0733618>] (kernel_init_freeable+0xe4/0x1b4) [<c0733618>] (kernel_init_freeable) from [<c058db9c>] (kernel_init+0xc/0xec) [<c058db9c>] (kernel_init) from [<c0009850>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24) [...] This bug was introduced by commit 588a6a99286ae30afb1339d8bc2163517b1b7dd1 ("leds: netxbig: fix attribute-creation race").
