Why is moonlight a color? Camera flashes are usually white, no?

At least it needs a comment...

Moonlight has more current level(150mA) from general RGB LED (24mA).
It can be used as night-light and usually use color AMBER.
Camera flashes are usually use two flash LED. One is YELLOW, and one is WHITE.

From what I seen, night-lights are usually differetent "temperatures"
of white. Cool white + warm white.

I believe "warm white" would be easier to understand than
"moonlight"...

If you have two leds that differ only in one being "cool white" and
one being "warm white", you may need to introduce defines for one of
them.

If not, keeping "LED_COLOR_ID_WHITE" is enough.

That's my fault, In fact I should have asked about adding
LED_FUNCTION_MOONLIGHT, it was evidently too late for me that evening...

I'd say that torch is something different that moonlight,
but we would need more input from Gene to learn more about
the nature of light emitted by ML LED on his device.

Please note that torch is usually meant as the other mode of
flash LED (sometimes it is called "movie mode"), which is already
handled by brightness file of LED class flash device (i.e. its LED class
subset), and which also maps to v4l2-flash TORCH mode.

It's used to front camera fill light.
More brightness than screen backlight, and more soft light than flash.
I think LED_ID_COLOR_WHITE is okay.

So why in v6 you assigned LED_COLOR_ID_AMBER to it?

Regardless of that, now we're talking about LED function - you chose
LED_FUNCTION_INDICATOR for it, but inferring from your above description
- it certainly doesn't fit here.

Also register names, containing part "ML" indicate that this LED's
intended function is moonlinght, which your description somehow
corroborates.

Moonlight LEDs become ubiquitous nowadays so sooner or later we will
need to add this function anyway [0].

We use term "Moonlight" as reference says
"When you are trying to imitate moonlight you need to use low voltage,
softer lighting. You don’t want something that’s too bright"
which is focus on brightness instead of color.

So we surpose Moonlight can be white or amber.

Should I add LED_FUNCTION_MOONLIGHT and set LED_COLOR_ID_WHITE?

Regarding the function - yes, the reference backs that up.
Regarding the color - if you feel that it properly describes the
LED color then go for it.
