This patch rearranges the core LED subsystem code, so that it

internally in case their brightness_set ops can sleep.
Addition of two flags: LED_BRIGHTNESS_FAST and LED_BLINK_DISABLE
as well as new_brightness_value property to the struct led_classdev
allows for employing existing set_brightness_work to do the job.
The modifications allow also to get rid of brightness_set_sync op,
as flash LED devices can now be handled properly only basing on the
SET_BRIGHTNESS_SYNC flag.

Are you sure this is good idea?

You'll now use single callback for blocking and non-blocking
behaviour. I'm pretty sure stuff like lockdep will have some fun with
that.

I enabled "Lock Debugging" options and didn't get any warning.
Could you describe the use case you are thinking of?
