Hi Hans,

Thank you for the review.

I don't think we'll see many like this one. I presume we won't use it on DT
albeit there are no direct references to ACPI in the code itself.

How about v4l2_fwnode_parse_acpi_reference (+ "s" for the one below)?

Yes, I'll fix that.

There may be several flash LEDs related to a sensor. That's the use case,
for instance.

I think it was meant to convey some information but it got added to the
previous sentence. I'll remove it.

It could be a LED driver device, but it could be something else as well.
Like a lens VCM, depending on the property being parsed. That's why I
didn't put it in the comments. But this is a device node, not a
hierarchical data extension node, for instance. That's what I think I
should add.

But should I? This isn't specific to LEDs.
