Indeed, I prepare an incremental patch that does return -ENOMEM instead
of goto out_unlock.

In this case it would IMHO be sensible to already try the
tty_kopen_shared() in ttyname_store() and let that one fail if the tty
doesn't exist. I'll have to go through the history of this patch set, if
I remember correctly it was like that at one point.

OK, there are too many variants for me. I'll just believe you that
led_set_brightness_sync is the right one. (Hmm, on the other hand I'll
have to understand the difference for a good commit log. I'll dig into
that. "Pavel said so" probably isn't good enough :-))

Best regards and thanks for your review,
Uwe
