I object adding a new fault which is essentially the same as an existing
fault, V4L2_FLASH_FAULT_OVER_TEMPERATURE.

As the practice has been to use human-readable names for the faults, I'd
also suggest using V4L2_FLASH_FAULT_UNDER_VOLTAGE instead of
V4L2_FLASH_FAULT_UVLO.

What's the IVFM block and what does it do?
