The code uses no tabs and indents with seven-spaces. Please convert it
to use hard tabs in the conventional fashion? In the Makefile and
Kconfig, too.

What's going on here? The driver is using eight bits to store the
current control setting, but the changelog says the driver can handle
ten LEDs.

<looks>

OK, so we're using seven bits in old_val and three in old_val_back.

Should be static.

It's a bit worrisome doing the outb() outside the locked section, but
all the races I can think of result from userspace doing things which
were unavoidably indeterminate anyway.

This is implementing a userspace API (led_run, led_init, led_err) but
that API isn't documented anywhere. Can we add a few words of
Documentation so our users know how to use this driver?
