Actually having LED flash class without strobe is pointless.
If you looked at led_classdev_flash_register_ext() you would see that
it fails with uninitialized strobe_set op. And V4L2 API for strobing
flash calls strobe_set from LED flash class beneath.

That was the idea behind LED and V4L2 flash API unification - there
is one hardware driver needed, the V4L2 Flash layer just takes over
control over it when needed.
