Ok.

Can we put it into drivers/leds/multi/? Lets group multicolor stuff there.

.ko?

Ok. We do have pattern trigger and hardware-accelerated blinking, if
it helps. But that may be a lot of fun with multicolor.

Are these two too big for inline?

Lets... not add parameters for this.

"enum" return type is confusing here, as you also return errors.

I'd simply do outbs unconditionally...

Are you sure you want to do superio_enter() each time LED values are
updated? That sounds... expensive, wrong. You have
request_muxed_region() call in there.

Are you sure this won't cause problems somewhere? Could compatible
mainboards be detected using DMI or something like that?

I don't think ENXIO is normally used like this. -ENODEV? You have this
elsewhere, too.

Are you sure you are using platform devices in reasonable way? You
probe, first, then register. That's highly unusual.
