Since it will be a next version, see one comment below you may address as well.

checkpatch usually complains on indentation above.

Can you simply do it like

	if (kb->kbdmode == VC_RAW ||
	    kb->kbdmode == VC_MEDIUMRAW ||
	    kb->kbdmode == VC_OFF) {

?

Alternatively it might be converted to a switch-case, but it takes more LOCs.

	switch {
	case VC_RAW:
	case VC_MEDIUMRAW :
	case VC_OFF:
		vt_switch = true;
		set_leds();
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}
