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.

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 reStructuredText 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.
