Hi Krzysztof,

thank you very much for your review!

No, only check for non-null, see comment in probe().

Looks like guard should start here... or you are not synchronizing
hardware access but more.

I just found it clearer to have the lock at the beginning.
But of course, I can easily move the lock to this position.

Why no lock here?

The individual regmap operations are already protected by the internal lock. If reading from a register has no other problematic effects on the overall function, then no additional lock is needed.

I noticed that the lock in tps6131x_strobe_get() is no longer needed. I'll removed that as well.

And this is not locked?

The read modify write operation is protected by regmap. Since this operation does not interact with any other functions, no lock is needed here.

Why builtin? That's a tristate, so I don't get why driver and v4l flash
cannot be modules. You wanted REACHABLE probably... but then it is
anyway discouraged practice leading to runtime debugging. So actually
you want CONFIG_V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS || !CONFIG_V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS
dependency.

Okay, I'll add 'depends on V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS || !V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS' to the Kconfig entry and do the check in the driver like this:
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS))
return 0;

Is this solution okay for you?
