Subject: [PATCH 08/10] leds: class: Split led_classdev_register_ext()
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 15:46:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018135339.1109271-9-W_Armin@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018135339.1109271-1-W_Armin@gmx.de>
Split led_classdev_register_ext() into two seperate internal functions
to prepare for future changes around LED class device initialization.
