[patch] leds-lp5523: BUG() in error handling in probe()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Fri Apr 13 2012 - 15:24:39 EST


Inside the error handling in lp5523_init_led(), there is a place that
calls to led_classdev_unregister(). When we unregister the LED drivers,
it tries to set the brightness to OFF. In this driver setting the
brightness is done through a work queue and the work queue hasn't been
initialized yet.

The result is that we trigger a BUG_ON() in the __queue_work().

The fix is to move the INIT_WORK() in front of the call to
lp5523_init_led().

Matt Renzelmann found this using a bug finding tool.

I don't have this hardware, so I can't test it.
