Commit Message

This allows to setup ordered workqueue for leds events. This may be
useful, because default 'system_wq' does not guarantee execution order
of each work_struct, thus for several brightness update requests (for
multiple leds), real brightness switch could be in random order.

Yes, for sysfs-based leds we have flush_work() call inside
brightness_store() operation, but it's blocking call, so userspace
caller can be blocked at a long time, which means leds animation stream
can be broken.

Ordered workqueue has the same behaviour as system_wq + flush_work(),
but all scheduled works are async and userspace caller is not blocked,
which it better for userspace animation scheduling.

This is an intrusive core change that was submitted during -rc6.

It's going to need some time on the list for people to respond.

Hello Lee,

I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to ask for your thoughts on whether there was enough time for
testing and if we can proceed with merging this patchset.

I appreciate any feedback about it.
