Hi!

Specify the exact label used if the label property is omitted in DT, as
well as use label in the example that conforms to LED device naming.

Ok, but userspace still has no chance to determine if this is flash
from main camera or flash for front camera; todays smartphones have
flashes on both cameras.

So.. Can I suggset as3645a:white:main_camera_flash or main_flash or
....?
If there's just a single one in the device, could you use that?

Even if we name this so for N9 (and N900), the application still would only
work with the two devices.
Well, I'd plan to name it on other devices, too.
My suggestion would be to look for a flash LED, and perhaps the maximum
current as well. That should generally work better than assumptions on the
label.
If you just look for flash LED, you don't know if it is front one or
back one. Its true that if you have just one flash it is usually on
the back camera, but you can't know if maybe driver is not available
for the main flash.

Lets get this right, please "main_camera_flash" is 12 bytes more than
"flash", and it saves application logic.. more than 12 bytes, I'm sure. 
For association with a particular camera --- in the long run I'd propose to
use Media controller / property API for that in the long run. We don't have
that yet though.
We don't have that yet. Plus simple applications may not want to talk
v4l2 ioctls....
