Hi Simon,

Thanks for the patch. Generally this patch touches two
areas - replacement of redundant code with bcm6328_led_set,
and locking reorganization. These should be split into
two separate patches. Nonetheless, I've noticed some
issues in the code, please refer below.

There are some problems with active_low mode here, I didn't recognize
earlier.

I'd expect that active_low implies reverse logic, i.e.:

LED_FULL -> bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF);
LED_OFF -> bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON);

Let's take a look at bcm6328_led_set:

         if ((led->active_low && value == LED_OFF) ||
             (!led->active_low && value != LED_OFF))
                 bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF);
         else
                 bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON);

which, for active_low case, boils down to:

LED_FULL -> bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON);
LED_OFF -> bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF);

and for !active_low case to:

LED_FULL -> bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF);
LED_OFF -> bcm6328_led_mode(led, BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON);

so, this is the other way round.

In bcm6328_led we have:

	if ((led->active_low && val == BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON) ||
		(!led->active_low && val == BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF))
		  led->cdev.brightness = LED_FULL;
	else
		led->cdev.brightness = LED_OFF;

which, for active_low case, boils down to:

BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON -> led->cdev.brightness = LED_FULL
BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF -> led->cdev.brightness = LED_OFF

and for !active_low case to:

BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON -> led->cdev.brightness = LED_OFF
BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF -> led->cdev.brightness = LED_FULL

again, the other way round.

All this looks like active_low really means active high.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Alvaro, Jonas, could you also help to clarify this discrepancy?
