In next-20121127, I still see that drivers/mfd/vexpress-sysreg.c has the
following code:

> static int __init vexpress_sysreg_init_leds(void)

...

... and on systems where vexpress_sysreg_base is not set, this crashes
the kernel on boot.

Shouldn't the patch "mfd: vexpress-sysreg: Remove LEDs code" be applied
to solve this?
