Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] leds: Add control of the voltage/current regulator to the LED core

Hi Jean,

Thank you for the patch.

I have one issue. Please refer below.

This cannot be called from atomic context since regulator_enable/disable
use mutex beneath, that can sleep on contention. Therefore this call
has to be made in two places instead:

__led_set_brightness()
__led_set_brightness_blocking()
