Hi!
From: ChiYuan Huang <cy_hu...@richtek.com>
Add support for RT4505 flash led controller. It can support up to 1.5A
flash current with hardware timeout and low input voltage
protection.
Please use upper-case "LED" everywhere.
This should be 2nd in the series, after DT changes.

Why is the locking needed? What will the /sys/class/leds interface
look like on system with your flash?
The locking is needed since this can be called via led_set_brightness()
from any place in the kernel, and especially from triggers.
From this case, It means only led classdev
brihtness_get/brightness_set need to be protected.
I search led_flash_classdev, it only can be controlled via sysfs or V4l2.
Like as described in last mail, flash related operation is protected
by led access_lock and v4l2 framework.
I'll keep the locking only in led classdev brightness_get/brightness_set API.
If I misunderstand something, please help to point out.
Locking have to be used consistently for each access to the resource
being protected with the lock. Otherwise you can end up in a situation
when rt4505_torch_brightness_set and rt4505_flash_brightness_set will
try concurrently alter hardware state. Regardless of how harmful could
it be in case of this particular device it is certainly against
programming rules.
