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.
Thx.
