The compiler is perfectly capable of optimizing away the store
in ret if that is not necessary; and splitting the line instead
of doing it above will just make the code harder to read.

Also this really is bikeshedding...

Ok, In will switch to this for the next version.

acpi device names are set by this code:

        result = ida_alloc(instance_ida, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (result < 0)
                return result;

        device->pnp.instance_no = result;
        dev_set_name(&device->dev, "%s:%02x", acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id, result);

And the bus_id cannot have a : in it, so there always is a single :.

The standard pattern in the kernel is that INIT_LIST_HEAD()
is only used for list_head-s which are actually used as the head
of the list. list_head-s used to track members of the list are
usually not initialized until they are added to the list.

Doing multiple list-init-s in multiple cases, including
one in *subsystem core code* just to drop an if here seems
counter productive.

Also checking that we can move forward with the unregister
is a good idea regardless of all the called functions being
able to run safely if the register never happened, because
future changes to the unregister function might end up
doing something which is unsafe when the LED was never
registered in the first place.

Hans
