Could you please describe where does this happen?
I can see LED_OFF happening only in led_heartbeat_function(), but
it doesn't use soft-blink, so it will not activate the delayed
timer cancel.

I would suggest the patch below to make it explicit that
led_heartbeat_function() doesn't want to cancel soft blink.
Note that led_heartbeat_function() already uses led_set_brightness_async()
in a normal case.
