Some LED devices support two operation modes - torch and
flash. This patch provides support for flash LED devices
in the LED subsystem by introducing new sysfs attributes
and kernel internal interface. The attributes being
introduced are: flash_mode, flash_timeout, max_flash_timeout,
flash_fault and hw_triggered.
The modifications aim to be compatible with V4L2 framework
requirements related to the flash devices management. The
design assumes that V4L2 driver can take of the LED class
device control and communicate with it through the kernel
internal interface. The LED sysfs interface is made
unavailable then.

It seems rather sad to have to insert that amount of code into the core
LED files for something which only a small number of LEDs actually use.
This will increase the footprint of the core LED code significantly.

Is it not possible to add this as a module/extension to the LED core
rather than completely entangling them?

OK, I'll try to decouple it.

Thanks,
Jacek Anaszewski
