In your device tree binding documentation there is torch-gpio mentioned,
but you seem not to use it in the driver.

We have already LED Flash class (/drivers/leds/led-class-flash.c) for
this type of devices, which handles both torch and flash modes
(flash_strobe sysfs attribute is provided for strobing the flash).

The reference drivers using LED Flash class are still pending [1], but I
think that at least leds-aat1290 driver is almost ready for merging.
It controls very similar device to yours.

Another advantage of using LED Flash class is that it has been designed
to be compatible with Video for Linux 2 subsystem, which will allow for registering LED Flash class devices as a V4L2 sub-devices.

Adding Sakari.


Ok, I'll check LED Flash class, and add torch-gpio

Many LED flash chips include a hardware pin for torch control but few really
need it. If you don't, i.e. you can implement the torch using the control bus
instead, I think I'd probably drop it from the chip's DT bindings.


Ingi, please follow Jacek's advice to use LED Flash class interface.
I'm reviewing those leds flash drivers and probably merge them soon.

Bryan please hold on with merging them as I am about to send new patch
set, as we've agreed that synchronized strobe feature should be removed
from the LED Flash class. There will be also some tweaking around
aat1290 DT bindings.
