Thanks!

There are two improvements we can make here.
1) adding a Fixes tag, so it can be backported to stable kernels;
2) see below.

...

You may improve this and simultaneously prepare for the next change to
be smaller

led->ctrl_gpio = devm_gpiod_get(dev, "ctrl", GPIOD_ASIS);
if (IS_ERR(led->ctrl_gpio))
return dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(led->ctrl_gpio),
"cannot get ctrl-gpios\n");

All the same for the other case.
