LED_OFF is the only value assigned to led_cdev->delayed_set_value. You could
remove the field and use LED_OFF below instead.

The field is being used in later patches as well but I don't think its use
makes any difference from functionality point of view. It doesn't seem to be
a bug but quite confusing nonetheless when you try to figure out how the
different fields are being used. :-)
