Yes, but:
- this asks to have a kernel generated with CONFIG_NEW_LEDS,
- the user must use some new program to access /sys/class/leds/<device>,
- he must know how the LEDs of his webcam are named in the /sys tree.

While, when the LEDs are handled by a simple control, the user may
quickly change all webcam parameters from a single program as v4l2-ctl.
