Subject: [patch] leds-lp5523: BUG() in error handling in probe()
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:24:24 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120413192424.GB18505@elgon.mountain> (raw)

Inside the error handling in lp5523_init_led(), there is a place that
calls to led_classdev_unregister().  When we unregister the LED drivers,
it tries to set the brightness to OFF.  In this driver setting the
brightness is done through a work queue and the work queue hasn't been
initialized yet.

The result is that we trigger a BUG_ON() in the __queue_work().

The fix is to move the INIT_WORK() in front of the call to
lp5523_init_led().

Matt Renzelmann found this using a bug finding tool.

I don't have this hardware, so I can't test it.
