With this approach, the LED will remain in its current blink state, in
case LED_BRIGHTNESS_FAST flag is not set and delay to be set is below 
LED_SLOW_MIN_PERIOD. This is because timer is deleted at the beginning
of led_blink_set. Effectively this can result in the LED staying turned
on when e.g. "echo 1 > delay_on" fails.

I propose to change this part of code as follows:

         if (!(led_cdev->flags & LED_BRIGHTNESS_FAST)) {
		if (delay_on < LED_SLOW_MIN_PERIOD ||
		    delay_off < LED_SLOW_MIN_PERIOD)
			led_set_brightness_async(led_cdev, LED_OFF);
			return -ERANGE;
		}
	}

By this occasion it turned out that we have inconsistency:
led_set_brightness_async calls brightness_set op, which doesn't
set LED brightness in an asynchronous way in case of every driver.

Before introduction of SET_BRIGHTNESS_SYNC and SET_BRIGHTNESS_ASYNC
flags there was only brightness_set op. The flags and
brightness_set_sync op was added for flash LED controllers to avoid
delegating the job to work queue and assure that brightness is set
as quickly as possible.

I mistakenly assumed that all drivers set the brightness with use
of a work queue.

Now, to fix the issue all drivers that set brightness in the
asynchronous way need to set the SET_BRIGHTNESS_SYNC flag and rename
their brightness_set ops to brightness_set_sync.
It would be also nice to rename brightness_set op to
brightness_set_async.

Also, led_set_brightness_async shouldn't be called directly
anywhere, but led_set_brightness should be used, as it
selects the appropriate op basing on the SET_BRIGHTNESS_* flag.

I'd prefer to do these modifications before merging this patch
set. I can produce the patch set within a few days. Or, maybe you
would like to take care of it?
