Leverage newly introduced 'leds' and 'led-names' properties to pass
indicator's phandle and function to v4l2 subnode. The latter supports
privacy led since couple of years ago under 'privacy-led' designation.
Unlike initially proposed trigger-source based approach, this solution
cannot be easily bypassed from userspace, thus reducing privacy
concerns.

I think panic-indicator may stay, as it's useful and mostly mutually
exclusive (bar some multi-OS use cases) with the camera being on,
with the comment above it obviously being removed as you did
