Hi Linus,

Yesterday I submitted pull request [0] containing this patch, but
the patch turns out to be pointless. Since I see my pull request merged
on top of mainline trunk I suspect it will not be a problem to
drop the patch or even whole pull request. In the latter case I'll
re-submit it for -rc4.

Sorry for the confusion.

Best regards,
Jacek Anaszewski

In case of_match_device cannot find a match, the fixes returns

Use of unlikey() is frowned upon.
Moreover, this cannot happen, as pca9532_of_populate_pdata() already
contains a similar check.

Kangjie: please stop submitting patches for missing checks, without
investigating if the failures can actually happen. Thanks!

Applied to the for-5.2 branch of linux-leds.git.

And also as a fix for v5.1...
