Subject: [PATCH] leds: triggers: Flush pending brightness before activating
 trigger
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The race fixed in timer_trig_activate() between a blocking
set_brightness() call and trigger->activate() can affect any trigger.
So move the call to flush_work() into led_trigger_set() where it can
avoid the race for all triggers.

Fixes: 0db37915d912 ("leds: avoid races with workqueue")
Fixes: 8c0f693c6eff ("leds: avoid flush_work in atomic context")
