This looks much cleaner IMO, thanks.

OK, I forgot to comment on this one :-)

A name should be descriptive, but that's just too much. So let's use something
shorter, and add a comment if one is really needed to explain what it is.
Something like:

u8 kbd_led_reports_num_levels is shorter, but still awfully long.

u8 kbd_led_num_levels  is shorter, but obviously looks like it should be the
levels value instead of a bool. So the above is probably best.
