in dualshock4_led_get_brightness()[1], led->dev is NULL here, as [2]
is not yet completed.
[1]
struct hid_device *hdev = to_hid_device(led->dev->parent);
[2]
led_cdev->dev = device_create_with_groups(&leds_class, parent, 0,
led_cdev, led_cdev->groups, "%s", final_name);

Because, we should not be allowed to access led_cdev->dev as it is not
completed and since, brightness_store() has this lock brightness_show()
should also have this as we are seeing the issue without it.
I hope, above might have answered your question.
