[PATCH 2/2] Input: xpad - sanitize xpad_led_disconnect()

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Dec 01 2010 - 10:05:01 EST


IMHO kfree() here looks very confusing. xpad_led->name is an array
of char inside struct xpad_led and is not a dynamic memory itself.
But kfree() works well because it is a first member of the struct
so it points start address of the struct and frees the struct.

Change it to xpad_led for the correctness & readability and make
xpad->led NULL for the safety.
