Hi Hans,
Thanks for the review. Sorry about the style mistakes, will be careful
next time.
Just a couple of questions.

How would you expect this? At this point I will never cross the maximum timeout
configured. I don't expect a driver to fail if I set a value within
the configuration
borders.

I didn't found any driver implementing
V4L2_CID_FLASH_INDICATOR_INTENSITY. Do you have
any examples for this? For the other ones I'm copying the lm3646 for
the other ones.
