This patch is almost a 1:1 copy of the patch I submitted on April 5:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

I think it is mandatory that you include a Signed-off-by with my name
in that case.  Arguably the commit author ("From:") should also be me.

Moreover this is missing a Reported-by tag with Roman Lozko's name.

AFAICS the only changes that you made are:
- rename igc_led_teardown() to igc_led_free()
- rename ret to err
- replace devm_kcalloc() with kcalloc()
  (and you introduced a memory leak while doing so, see below)

Honestly I don't see how those small changes justify omitting a
Signed-off-by or assuming authorship.

I would have been happy to submit a patch myself, I was waiting
for a Tested-by from Roman or you.

Unnecessary forward declaration, this compiled fine for me without it.

"leds" allocation is leaked in the error path.

This memory leak was not present in my original patch.  Not good!

Thanks,
