The Silicom platform (silicom-platform) Linux driver for Swisscom
Business Box (Swisscom BB) as well as Cordoba family products is a
software solution designed to facilitate the efficient management and
control of devices through the integration of various Linux
frameworks. This platform driver provides seamless support for device
management via the Linux LED framework, GPIO framework, Hardware
Monitoring (HWMON), and device attributes. The Silicom platform
driver's compatibility with these Linux frameworks allows applications
to access and control Cordoba family devices using existing software
that is compatible with these frameworks. This compatibility
simplifies the development process, reduces dependencies on
proprietary solutions, and promotes interoperability with other
Linux-based systems and software.

sizeof(*led) is shorter.
Mostly a matter of taste.
Maybe even devm_kmemdup()?
Henry: thanks. Devm_kmemdup() API requires additional argument that is not necessary of this driver. I prefer devm_kzalloc for now.
I am curious: What would that additional argument be ?
