Yes, there is a callback, that's the "done" function, but you can also
poll/check on request->complete though in this case, polling is not
recommended, the LED stuff should be as low latency as possible.
I suppose then what I'll do is request a done callback, and when an LED
update comes in while not done, just save it into a new 'next state
should be' variable, which is compared when done so that at worst I
loose events, but not the final status.

Can I use pmu_request from within the done callback with the same
structure? Probably not a good idea right? I can schedule_work then.
No need to schedule work, it should work fine to re-queue
