If you image search "microdia sonix webcam", or SN9C120, you can find examples of the type of webcam I have. It has 6 built-in LEDs. It's ancient (2006 maybe?) but in 2020 it was the only USB webcam I had. It doesn't perform well, especially in low light. The Windows XP drivers had the ability to toggle the LEDs, as well as "Auto" mode which would read and adjust the exposure and turn them on when it got "too dark", along with other nice features, like smoothing dead pixels, funky filters, effects and face tracking. Watching Wireshark usbmon with the Windows driver I was able to discover which values are required to toggle the LEDs. Reading ext-ctrls-flash.rst, V4L2_FLASH_LED_MODE_TORCH seems to describe mostly what I want it to do. Ideally the control would be boolean/checkbox, but the existing implementation seems to require a menu. This patch implements the ability to control the LEDs, attempting to minimise changes to external files and other webcams. Review by anyone more familiar with the code base for unintended side effects would be welcome and appreciated. First kernel submission.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
