Re: [PATCH v4 07/10] media: i2c: ov9282: add led_mode v4l2 control

The flash LED mode control is, well, setting the flash LED mode. There's no
LED on the sensor so I think I'd add a new control for this.

I'd call it V4L2_FLASH_LED_STROBE_ENABLE, and make it a boolean control.

(My apologies for not giving a better review for this set earlier on.)

How does this sensor make use the information? E.g. what's the latching
point this setting in relation to a given frame?
