Greg, WARN_ON() doesn't normally crash the machine. That said, it's reasonable to remove the WARN_ON(). I think the purpose of the warning is that this is a case that should "never happen," so if it does, it's making some noise. The only caller is gb_lights_light_register(), and it checks for an error and does "properly handle" the\ error (assuming any error meaning "light has no flash" is correct). Rui, please weigh in. -Alex
