When issuing the following command:
for I in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/pca955x\:${I}/brightness;
done
It is possible that all the pca955x_read_ls calls are done sequentially
before any pca955x_write_ls call is done. This updates the LS only to the
last LED update in its set.
Fix this by using a global lock for the pca995x device during
pca955x_led_work. Also used a struct for shared data bewteen all LEDs.

There's the bugfix.

And there's an apparently unrelated change whcih created a *lot* of
noise in the patch. It would be good to separate these things, with
the bugfix being the first change.

Why was this function renamed, and what does "ledel" mean?

This doesn't work. A problem was that each LED had it's own lock used upon
scheduling it's own workqueue. No synchronization betwen all LEDs on this
chip.

Whoops, my mistake. This wasn't intended. I will gladly send a new patch with
the last function name change reverted. Unless someone objects against the
synchronizaton.
