So... how does its userland interface look like?


1. set FLED1 brightness
# echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/white:flash1/flash_brightness
2. enable FLED1 strobe
# echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/white:flash1/flash_strobe
3 . turn off FLED1 strobe (just used to gaurantee the strobe mode
flash leds must be turned off)
# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/white:flash1/flash_strobe

I believe I'd preffer only exposing torch functionality in
/sys/class/leds. .. strobe can be supported using v4l2 APIs.

Actually having LED flash class without strobe is pointless.
If you looked at led_classdev_flash_register_ext() you would see that
it fails with uninitialized strobe_set op. And V4L2 API for strobing
flash calls strobe_set from LED flash class beneath.

That was the idea behind LED and V4L2 flash API unification - there
is one hardware driver needed, the V4L2 Flash layer just takes over
control over it when needed.
