What's the time unit for these defines? Just make that part of the name,
e.g. VIMC_FLASH_TIMEOUT_MS_STEP (or NS or US, whatever the unit is).

Please use proper coding style, so { should be on a new line...

...and add an empty line between variable declarations and the following code.

> + c = v4l2_ctrl_find(hdl, V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE_STATUS);
> + if (!c) return;

'return' should be on the next line.

no spurious empty line at the end.

> +}

How about this:

static void vimc_fla_set_strobe_status(struct v4l2_ctrl_handler *hdl, bool value)
{
struct v4l2_ctrl *c = v4l2_ctrl_find(hdl, V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE_STATUS);

if (c)
v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl(c, value);
}

Even better: just store the V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE_STATUS v4l2_ctrl pointer in
struct vimc_fla_device when the control is created and use that pointer directly.

empty line

> + vimc_fla_set_strobe_status(&vfla->hdl, vfla->is_strobe);

Hmm, this really boils down to a simple:

v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl(vfla->strobe_status_ctrl, 1);

So you don't need the vimc_fla_set_strobe_status at all.

> + vfla->last_strobe = ktime_get_ns();

space after 'while'.

Please run 'checkpatch.pl --strict' over your patch!

What if the thread is already running?

I wonder what existing flash drivers do if V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE is called
repeatedly. Perhaps returning EBUSY if strobe is still active makes sense here.

It would also be a nice feature if keeping the strobe on for more than X seconds
would create a V4L2_FLASH_FAULT_LED_OVER_TEMPERATURE fault.

Can you look at existing flash drivers and copy the min/max/step/def values?

The values here are rather arbitrary. It would be nice if it was a bit more
realistic.
