[PATCH] leds: netxbig: fix oops at probe time

[Simon Guinot]

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

Hi Bryan,

Is there any news about this patch on your side ?

Jason, Andrew, Sebastian,

Maybe this patch can go through the SoC branch ?

Thanks in advance.

Sigh. Andrew even told you it's already been merged, and _then_ you
send up a single patch pull request with _just_ this to Linus after
having been completely unresponsive for a month?

Anyway, dropped the last fixes branch from mvebu now.

Btw: Andrew, in the future it's useful to get these kind of requests
cc:d to arm at kernel.org, since I don't monitor my inbox the same way I
keep an eye on that folder. I didn't notice this until several days
later. Not your fault, but it'd help me. :-)
