Thanks for the patch, Pavel.

Yeah, this definitely can't be applied as-is. A few of the most 
outstanding issues pointed out below.

It hasn't been lost, still in my queue, but as it is of a very low 
priority, it hasn't been processed yet. Please make this one independent 
on it (i.e. do not intermix the type conversion with the actual RGB led 
patch).

Minor nit -- we generally try to keep this list alphabetically sorted, 
although even before your change USB_DEVICE_ID_SONY_NAVIGATION_CONTROLLER 
is misplaced. Would be nice to have it fixed while you are at it.

kzalloc() failure handling missing.

What is this trying to achieve? What error is it protecting against?

This needs to be prefixed by the driver / device identification (pr_/dev_ 
macros).

Please put this outside of the function scope.

Again, please make this (and most of the other printk()s added by the 
patch) driver/device specific (and dependent on a debug option).

The work gets scheduled whenever sony_set_leds() is called, so this can be 
just removed, right?

Both these need to go.

Maybe Frank or someone else would be willing to work on improving this 
patch. I am not applying it in this form.
