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.
