No sanity checking on the name -> probably a security hole. Do not
push this upstream before this is fixed.

Thanks for catching this.

David, please check if the LED name sticks to the LED class
device naming convention.

I don't think it is a good idea to enforce the LED class naming convention. Someone may have a userspace application they want to test that has a hard-coded name that does not follow the convention.



And one thing that caught my eye only now - please use
devm_led_classdev_register().

How do I use devm_* when there is no parent device?



For now I'm dropping the patch.
