You're not protecting bcm6328_led_set with spin_lock here.
Please describe why this is not needed in the commit message.

Subject[PATCH 1/2 (v2)] leds-bcm6328: Reuse bcm6328_led_set() instead of copying its functionality
Message-ID<qvyzw-3C8-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1270238
When ensuring a consistent initial LED state in bcm6328_led (as they may
be blinking instead of on/off), the LED register is set using an inverted
copy of bcm6328_led_set(). To avoid further errors relating to active low
handling, call this function directly instead.

As bcm6328_led_set() acquires the same spinlock again when updating the
register, it is called after unlocking.

Still wrong, you are setting the led value after unlocking the spinlock.

I have to unlock it because bcm6328_led_set() locks that spinlock.

Commit message from the first version of the patch justified that
properly. It should be preserved in the final patch:

As bcm6328_led_set() expects to acquire the spinlock, narrow the locking
to only cover reading of the current state. There is no need to hold the
spinlock between reading the current value and setting it again because
the LED device has not yet been registered.

Hmm, if so, then spin_lock in bcm6328_led isn't needed at all, as it
is guaranteed that no concurrent process will be executing this
function.

#1274949 — [PATCH 1/2 (v3)] leds-bcm6328: Reuse bcm6328_led_set() instead of copying its functionality

FromSimon Arlott <simon@fire.lp0.eu>
Date2015-11-22 21:50 +0100
Subject[PATCH 1/2 (v3)] leds-bcm6328: Reuse bcm6328_led_set() instead of copying its functionality
Message-ID<qxJK9-qg-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1270946
When ensuring a consistent initial LED state in bcm6328_led (as they may
be blinking instead of on/off), the LED register is set using an inverted
copy of bcm6328_led_set(). To avoid further errors relating to active low
handling, call this function directly instead.

As bcm6328_led_set() expects to acquire the spinlock, call it after
unlocking. There is no need to hold the spinlock between reading the
current value and setting it again because the LED device has not yet
been registered.

No, it's still required because it has to protect the read/modify/write
for all the other LED devices that use the same register.
