Some Pro Controller compatible controllers do not support home LED, and
will fail when setting it. Currently this leads to probe failure.

Change the code that fails probing to deregistering home LED.

I have s/dflt/default/ and applied to for-6.1/nintendo in hid.git

FWIW, I wondered really hard if we should or not clean up led->name that
devm_kzalloc-ed just a few lines above, but in the end it doesn't add
much to do it now instead of at remove time.

Thanks for the patch and the reviews!

Cheers,
Benjamin

Thanks for the patch. I haven't done any work to make the driver
compatible with non-official nintendo controllers. I suppose there
aren't many other options for controllers lacking full functionality
other than disabling those functions during probe, as demonstrated
here.

Any updates on this patch? Would like to see this upstream, so that my
8bitdo pro 2 controller can work in switch mode again.

I don't have a "Nintendo Pro Controller"-compatible controller to test
with but I have compiled a Kernel with this patch applied and can confirm
that the original Nintendo Pro Controller is still probed correctly with
this patch applied.


Cheers,

Silvan
