How about this: Once the V4L2 sub-device is registered by the driver which created the Media controller device, the sub-device node acts just as a node of a native V4L2 flash API device would. The calls are simply routed to the LED flash API. > +Opening the V4L2 Flash sub-device makes the LED subsystem sysfs interface > +unavailable.
