Subject: [PATCH 5.13 102/351] ALSA: control_led - fix initialization in the mode show callback

From: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@...ex.cz>

[ Upstream commit e381a14c3e3a4e90e293d4eaa5a3ab8ae98b9973 ]

The str variable should be always initialized before use even if
the switch covers all cases. This is a minimalistic fix: Assign NULL,
the sprintf() may print '(null)' if something is corrupted.
