Why is this not an array of phandles to the LED nodes? That's much
better than strings.

This is because a single flash led device can control many sub-leds,
which are represented by child nodes in the Device Tree.
Every sub-led is registered as a separate LED Flash class device
in the LED subsystem, but in fact they share the same struct device
and thus have access only to the parent's phandle. The LED Flash
class devices are wrapped by V4L2 sub-devices and register
asynchronously within a media device. Since the v4l2_subdev structure
has a 'name' field, it is convenient to initialize it with
parsed 'label' property of a child led node and match the
sub-devices in the media device basing on it.

Also, I only seem to have recevied the documentation patches and none of
the code -- in future when posting RFC DT patches, please Cc for the
code too as it's useful context.

Of course, I'll keep it in mind.

Regards,
Jacek
