What directory are the flash controls in?

Could we arrange for something less generic, like
/sys/class/leds/main-camera:flash ?
I'd rather avoid overcomplicating this. LED class device name pattern
is well defined to devicename:colour:function
(see Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt, "LED Device Naming" section).
In this case "flash" in place of the "function" segment makes the
things clear enough I suppose.
It does not.
Phones usually have two cameras, front and back, and these days both
cameras have their flash.
And poor userspace flashlight application can not know if as3645
drivers front LED or back LED. Thus, I'd set devicename to
front-camera or main-camera -- because that's what it is associated
with. Userspace does not care what hardware drives the LED, but needs
to know if it is front or back camera.
The name of a LED flash class device isn't fixed and is derived
from DT label property. Name in the example of some DT bindings
will not force people to apply similar pattern for the other
drivers and even for the related one. No worry about having
to keep anything forever basing on that.
Isn't the V4L2 subdev/Media Controller API supposed to provide means
for associating flash LEDs with camera sensors? You seem to be insisting
on using the sysfs leds interface for that, which is not a primary
interface for camera flash AFAICT.
