I had a look through, they look basically ok. 

In the LED patch I'm not sure I like the SET_BRIGHTNESS and SET_BLINK
sharing of a workqueue though. Its not going to crash, I can just see
values potentially getting lost as the code has a race condition. It
would be easier if it just compared led->current_brightness to
led->brightness acting if needed and something similar for LED blinking.

Cheers,

Richard
