I will restructured the code to move all probe-related helpers above the
lp5812_probe() function.

I will remove the string-based `platform_data` handling and now store a direct
pointer to `struct lp5812_led` in `dev->platform_data`.
This allows simplifying `lp5812_dev_to_led()` without the need for `strcmp()`
or multiple `container_of()` usages.

I will remove the redundant error message at the end of `lp5812_init_led()`
to avoid double-printing.
Now only the specific failure points log detailed errors.

I will update it.

I will update the probe logic for clarity and removed the i2c_device_id table
and .id_table field.

I will drop it.

I will remove it.
Thank you for your thorough review and helpful suggestions.
