The reason is bugs in your driver code.

module_unregister_chrdev - there is no such function in the Linux kernel.
	Do you mean unregister_chrdev() or devfs_unregister_chrdev()?

led_init - there is no such exported kernel  symbol.  Which  function
        are you trying to call? Is this something in your own driver?

printk - there is no such function in the Linux kernel. Did you  mean
        printk() instead?

register_chrdev, printk - I can only speculate.  These  are  exported
        kernel  symbols.  probably you compile the driver with bad or
        incomplete compiler options?
