Hopefully Pavel (LED subsystem maintainer) will comment soon-ish.
My comments:
a. This patch would be the right thing to do if your large patch had already been
applied (merged) somewhere, but AFAIK it hasn't been. So:
b. IMO you should resend your entire patch set with this fix included.
Send it as "v2" (version 2) and explain the changes in it since your
original patch (which was v1). This v2 explanation should be below the
"---" line in the patch. (See Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
for more info -- or ask for more info/help.)
I still remember the old patch, so b. is not strictly neccessary here.
c. For your follow-up patch to include/media/v4l2-flash-led-class.h,
which was:
-led_brightness;
+typedef u8 led_brightness;
I would just add this to include/media/v4l2-flash-led-class.h:
#include <linux/leds.h>
That way, in a few years, when the type of led_brightness changes again,
someone won't have to remember to search for other typedefs of it and
update them also. Or maybe they will do that after a bug happens and
someone notices it.
(Note that I am just trying to help. Pavel has more of a final
say-so about this.)
And your comments are reasonable.
Best regards,
Pavel
