The function 'led_compose_name()' is called in 'led_classdev_register_ext(()' only and in its implementation it always parses the fwnode passed with the init_data struct. If there's no fwnode, EINVAL is returned and 'led_classdev_register_ext()' returns early. If this is detected early the same fallback mechanism can be used , as if init_data itself is NULL. This will allow drivers to pass fully populated 'init_data' or sparse initialized 'init_data' with a NULL fwnode in a more elegant way with only one function call.
