Just give them a name like video0:power and it will be easy enough to associate them with the device.

The advantage of using the led class is that you get support for triggers and automatic blink functions, etc. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
