Hi Bryan,

Thanks for a review.

Add a mechanism for locking LED subsystem sysfs interface.
This patch prepares ground for addition of LED Flash Class
extension, whose API will be integrated with V4L2 Flash API.
Such a fusion enforces introducing a locking scheme, which
will secure consistent access to the LED Flash Class device.

The mechanism being introduced allows for disabling LED
subsystem sysfs interface by calling led_sysfs_lock function
and enabling it by calling led_sysfs_unlock. The functions
alter the LED_SYSFS_LOCK flag state and must be called
under mutex lock. The state of the lock is checked with use
of led_sysfs_is_locked function. Such a design allows for
providing immediate feedback to the user space on whether
the LED Flash Class device is available or is under V4L2 Flash
sub-device control.

Can we remove this #ifdef? Following code looks good to the common LED class.

Sure.

+       mutex_lock(&led_cdev->led_lock);

Can we choose more meaningful name instead of led_lock here?
Then use led_sysfs_enable() instead of led_sysfs_unlock()
led_sysfs_disable instead of led_sysfs_lock()
led_sysfs_is_disabled instead of led_sysfs_is_locked()

And the flag LED_SYSFS_LOCK -> LED_SYSFS_DISABLE

I was just confused by the name lock and unlock and mutex lock.

The idea looks good to me.

Indeed, this naming will be more intuitive.

Regards,
Jacek
