Re: [PATCH] leds: remove redundant SET_BRIGHTNESS_SYNC flag

[Jacek Anaszewski <j.anaszewski@samsung.com>]

I personally can't find any strong argument against this optimization.
I added both flags on Bryan's request while implementing LED Flash class
extension. I can see a few occurrences in the include/linux directory
where both SYNC and ASYNC flags are implemented. The argument in favour
could be the fact that the flags influence the core functionality of
the subsystem.

Bryan, could you express your opinion, please?
