Agree, there seems to be some locking issue with LED stuff, but I'm not
sure where, and the driver doesn't even hold any locks here.

For all I care, yes. We explicitly do this last, from a worker that
holds no locks in the driver ... so it's odd. Looking at the history of
it, it seems that it was originally _nowait(), but then in 3.6 I changed
it because of some backport concerns. Though then I also moved it out of
the locked section.
