MT6360 FLED register define is STROBE_EN/TORCH_EN/CS1/CS2 (current
source) 4 bits.
The STROBE_EN/TORCH_EN is shared by FLED1 and FLED2.
If I want to enable FLED1 torch mode, I set TORCH_EN and CS1
If I want to enable FLED2 strobe mode, I set STROBE_EN and CS2
For example I set FLED1 torch, then I set FLED2 strobe.
When I set FLED2 strobe, I will see the strobe current is FLED2 add
FLED1 current which is not I want.
So I need disable FLED1 torch first.
Considering every circumstances is complicated when share same H/W
logic control.
And the other problem is torch mode switch to strobe mode needs ramp
time because strobe and torch mode can't be co-exist.
