Subject: [PATCH 3.18 121/183] leds: netxbig: fix oops at probe time

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Simon Guinot <simon.guinot@...uanux.org>

commit 0c86ac2c50647451d6a70dc900f8bb0ee3d485d9 upstream.

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
