Yes, but that doesn't matter. > Looking at the Stephen's patch, it's clear that it was made > with "static DECLARE_WORK(work, my_work)" in mind.

I disagree - as the lockdep warning says:

What it needs is to actually correctly go through initializing the work at least once.
Without more information, I can't really say what's going on, but I assume that something is failing and p54_unregister_leds() is getting invoked without p54_init_leds() having been invoked, so essentially it's trying to flush a work that was never initialized?
INIT_DELAYED_WORK() does, after all, initialize the lockdep map properly via __INIT_WORK().
