Christophe,

Thanks for the comments. See my comments below.

Updated patch will be sent out later after review comments from other reviewers are addressed.

sizeof(*led) is shorter.
Mostly a matter of taste.

Maybe even devm_kmemdup()?

Henry: thanks. Devm_kmemdup() API requires additional argument that is not necessary of this driver. I prefer devm_kzalloc for now.

if (!led)
is enough.

Henry: OK, changed

This kind of message is useless and should be removed (checkpatch should warn about it)

Henry: OK, removed.

Maybe even devm_kmemdup()?

if (!led->subled_info)
