If the code is moved to gspca_main level, what shall be the name of the
LED? According to Documentation/leds-class.txt, chapter "LED Device Naming"
my proposal for "devicename" would be:
* /sys/class/leds/video-0::camera
* /sys/class/leds/video-1::camera
* /sys/class/leds/video-2::camera
* ...
or
* /sys/class/leds/video0::camera
* /sys/class/leds/video1::camera
* /sys/class/leds/video2::camera
* ...
Which is the right one?
