There are races between "main" thread and workqueue. They manifest
themselves on Thinkpad X60:
This should result in LED blinking, but it turns it off instead:
root@amd:/data/pavel# cd /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:power
root@amd:/sys/class/leds/tpacpi::power# echo timer > trigger
root@amd:/sys/class/leds/tpacpi::power# echo timer > trigger
It should be possible to transition from blinking to solid on by echo
0 > brightness; echo 1 > brightness... but that does not work, either,
if done too quickly.
Synchronization of the workqueue fixes both.
Fixes: 1afcadfcd1 ("leds: core: Use set_brightness_work for the blocking op")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
