Hi Kai-Heng,

Thank you for the patch.

Just out of curiosity - are you experiencing that on some hardware?

This function is "nopm" for a reason - we do not make here any
pm management related operations.

Instead of that, please just add

flush_work(&led_cdev->set_brightness_work);

at the end of led_classdev_suspend()

in drivers/leds/led-class.c.
