How about some like:

unsigned new_status = *blank ? BLANK : UNBLANK;

if (new_status != n->old_status) {
	if ((new_status ^ n->invert) == BLANK) {
		n->brightness = led->brightness;
		led_set_brightness(led, LED_OFF);
	} else {
		led_set_brightness(led, n->brightness);
	}

	n->old_status = new_status;
}

In my opinion that would be more readable.

Same here:

if ((n->old_status ^ n->invert) == BLANK)
	led_set_brightness(led, LED_OFF);
else
	led_set_brightness(led, n->brightness);
