From: Rudraksha Gupta <guptarud@gmail.com>

Extend the RT8515 driver to support flash ICs that use only a single
GPIO for both flash and torch modes (no separate ENT pin), with an
optional vin regulator that gates power to the flash IC.

When vin-supply is provided, the driver enables the regulator before
activating the LED and disables it when turning off.

Make ent-gpios optional and validate at probe time that exactly one of
ent-gpios or vin-supply is provided. When ent-gpios is absent, the
driver uses enf-gpios for both flash and torch brightness control.
