 flash LED controller

Hi Lee Jones,

thanks for the feedback. I will address your comments in the next
version. I have a few comments/questions though, see below.

Best regards,
André

Using tab size 8, SY7802_FLASH_BRIGHTNESS_* look aligned to me. Do you
refer to SY7802_TORCH_BRIGHTNESS_MAX here?

The comment and the warn message are taken from 'leds-mt6370-flash.c'.
But I think using the warn message you suggested the comment can be
removed.

I might be missing something, but I don't know how to use led->led_no
in place of mask, when
led->led_no is in {0,1,2} and
mask is in {0x07, 0x38, 0x3f}.

This snippet was also taken from 'leds-mt6370-flash.c'.
