Hi all,
Sorry for the late reply!

I agree with the first half of Angelo's statement, I did make the
mistake on this 'return ret'.
What I was trying to say is that you should not to toggle cfo function
when the FLED of MT6370 is still in "strobe mode".

Therefore, I think the change of Harshit's patch is correct.
It should be 'return -EINVAL' or 'return -EPERM' here.

Thanks!
