What happens if you don't call led1(), but just continue?

This is basically a do-nothing, since ledlight is already 0x0 (per
definition, since it's a global variable).

I can't see anything that would be wrong with the code though.

What would be more interesting is:

void led1(void) {
  ledlight ^= 0xff;
}

....
  for (;;) {
    led1();
    outp(ledlight, PORTB);
  }

This should make all pins on Port B oscillate with the same frequency.
Alternatively, make led1() count ledlight up:

void led1(void) {
  ledlight++;
}

This should make all pins oscillate with frequencies divided by 2
each.
