Fits on a single line.

Shouldn't you first decrement the minimum before the division?

Brightness level 0 means that led is off. Let's consider following case:

intensity - 15625
config->step - 15625
intensity / config->step = 1 (the lowest possible current level)

In V4L2 controls the minimum is not off, and zero might not be a possible
value since minimum isn't divisible by step.

I wonder how to best take that into account.

I've assumed that in MODE_TORCH a led is always on. Switching
the mode to MODE_FLASH or MODE_OFF turns the led off.
This way we avoid the problem with converting 0 uA value to
led_brightness, as available torch brightness levels start from
the minimum current level value and turning the led off is
accomplished on transition to MODE_OFF or MODE_FLASH, by
calling brightness_set op with led_brightness = 0.

I'm not sure if we understood the issue the same way. My concern was that if
the intensity isn't a multiple of step (but intensity - min is), the above
formula won't return a valid result (unless I miss something).


Please note that v4l2_flash_intensity_to_led_brightness is called only
from s_ctrl callback, and thus it expects to get the intensity aligned
to the step value, so it will always be a multiple of step.
Is it possible that s_ctrl callback would be passed a non-aligned
control value?
