Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 1/2] leds: tps6105x: add driver for mfd chip led mode

Thank you for the review, Dan. Some remarks below.

The driver will work without crashes or oopses even when this returns NULL:
- struct led_init_data . fwnode is optional (can be NULL)
- fwnode_handle_put() ignores NULL arguments

By not checking for NULL here, non-devicetree users can still select
led mode through platform data on the parent mfd driver, and things
will "just work".

Could I persuade you to keep this behaviour?
Perhaps I should put a comment in to clarify?

I used 5.4's checkpatch.pl, but somehow it doesn't warn :(
Will fix that up.
