I found both variants in kernel code.  I can live with both variants and have 
no strong preference.

My initial intention to add it was to get a compiler warning in case someone 
does not pass a fwnode here, e.g. when using that old platform_data approach 
(which is supposed to be removed with this patch).  You might call it a self 
check on my own changes.  I can also drop that attribute if you don't want 
that kind of stuff in linux-leds.
