Thanks for looking my patch.

That was made unintentionally - will fix in next version.

I've almost broke my mind writing this part and you've repeated my
mistake: in line where 'value' is checked ( if(value) ) the 'value'
shouldn't be inverted independently of S3C24XX_LEDF_ACTLOW flag.
This because S3C24XX_LEDF_TRISTATE means "tristate to turn off"
(arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/include/mach/leds-gpio.h:18) - that produces all
of complexity. Hope my description is understandable (if not, I'm sorry
- my English is too bad for this).

I tried to use same error handling approach in all code, but you are
right - I've missed that in this place we can return safely and not
loosing much of code readability. _But_ this violates approach of not
having multiple returns unless you *really* need this. Still in doubt...

I see no big difference between those two variants, but:
  1. my code looks for more readable
  2. your code allows not to call 's3c_gpio_setpull' in case of
gpio_request fail which looks like the _only_ usable variant.

Besides that, I've made a mistake changing

s3c2410_gpio_pullup(pdata->gpio, 0)
to
s3c_gpio_setpull(pdata->gpio, S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE)

because first variant actually means *enable* pull, trying first UP and,
if fail, DOWN direction. So pull-resistor is enabled in this case but in
some *random* direction.

The only use case for pull-resistor I see here is not to left pin
floating if someone configured _tristate_off_ LED on pin which actually
don't have it (LED or anything other connected). Considering this and a
fact that pullup is default enabled I think that it's safe to remove
it's configuration at all and left code in my variant. Or to add
pull-resistor enabling code for *opposite* case (S3C24XX_LEDF_TRISTATE).
