The idea of having some sort of control over the LEDs is interesting, but we
should have a better way of controlling it. If the LED may have more than one
bit, maybe the better would be to create more than one CID entry. Something 
like:

V4L2_CID_LED_POWER      - for showing that the camera is being used
V4L2_CID_LED_LIGHT      - for normal white light
V4L2_CID_LED_INFRARED   - for dark light, using infrared
...

This way a driver can enumberate what kind of leds are available, and get the
power intensity range for each individual one.

Cheers,
Mauro
