In order to enable this CONFIG_V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS symbol has to +be defined in the kernel config. The driver must call the v4l2_flash_init +function to get registered in the V4L2 subsystem. On remove the +v4l2_flash_release function has to be called (see <media/v4l2-flash.h>). + +After proper initialization a V4L2 Flash sub-device is created. The sub-device +exposes a number of V4L2 controls, which allow for controlling a LED Flash class +device with use of its internal kernel API. +Opening the V4L2 Flash sub-device makes the LED subsystem sysfs interface +unavailable. The interface is re-enabled after the V4L2 Flash sub-device +is closed.
