Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 0/2] leds: use workqueue in led_set_brightness() API internally

LED class drivers use duplicated workqueue method to implement
.brightness_set() and some of them forget to use workqueue, since
workqueue is required by .brightness_set() in atomic context.

This patchset add workqueue into API function led_set_brightness().
So class drivers don't need to worry about it.

With the first patch, we can remove all the workqueue handling code in
class drivers. For example, workqueue was removed from leds-gpio.c

Bryan Wu (2):
  leds: use workqueue in led_set_brightness() API internally
  leds-gpio: remove workqueue in .brightness_set()
