Ok, can we set the label to "main_camera" for N9 and n950 cases?
"as3645a:flash" is really wrong name for a LED. Information that
as3645 is already present elsewhere in /sys. Information where the LED
is and what it does is not.
I'd like to have torch application that just writes
/sys/class/leds/main_camera:white:flash/brightness . It should not
need to know hardware details of differnet phones.

Yeah, I'm not looking for sensor association. I'm looking for
reasonable userland interface.
Thanks,
Pavel
