As Linus W. said, this is looking really nice now. Thanks!

Just a couple of nits below.

As patch 1 feedback, seems odd for the client to be responsible for
this. It should be managed in LEDS_EXPRESSWIRE.

These are a little pointless now. They are all single use constants
and have little documentary value.

The lack of documentary value is because, for example,
KTD2801_EXPRESSWIRE_DETECT_DELAY_US, is assigned to a structure
field called detect_delay_us.

Likewise I doubt that explicitly stating that long_bitset_us is 3x
bigger than short_bitset_us is important for future driver maintainance.

The !! is redundant... but, as previous feedback, I think writing a u8
should be in the library code anyway.
