@@ -20,3 +20,16 @@ Following sysfs attributes are exposed for controlling flash LED devices:
 	- max_flash_timeout
 	- flash_strobe
 	- flash_fault
+
+A LED subsystem driver can be controlled also from the level of VideoForLinux2
+subsystem. In order to enable this CONFIG_V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS symbol has to
+be defined in the kernel config. The driver must call the v4l2_flash_init
+function to get registered in the V4L2 subsystem. On remove the
+v4l2_flash_release function has to be called (see <media/v4l2-flash.h>).
+
+After proper initialization a V4L2 Flash sub-device is created. The sub-device
+exposes a number of V4L2 controls, which allow for controlling a LED Flash class
+device with use of its internal kernel API.
+Opening the V4L2 Flash sub-device makes the LED subsystem sysfs interface
+unavailable. The interface is re-enabled after the V4L2 Flash sub-device
+is closed.
