Can you not do outb() from atomic context?  The reason lots of LED
drivers update the hardware in a workqueue is that they communicate with
the hardware over buses that can't be used in atomic context like I2C or
SPI but if that's not an issue then the workqueue is not required and
the code can be simplified.
