Yes, please. That seems reasonably good.

I think Laurent's proposal on a HDR control for sensor-implemented HDR is a
good one. Further controls can be added later on.

How about:

	device_property_read_bool(dev, ...);

So this is for strobing a LED flash? It would be good to mention this in
DT bindings.

No problem.

That name seems reasonable to me. Although, *if* this is actually usable as
a GPIO as the bindings suggest, then the GPIO flags would probably be a
better alternative.
