I'm very, very *not* thrilled by all this. It looks like a big pile of
hacks really. Every single parameter used by those controls needs to be
clearly documented, including explaining how they are used, in order for
us to review the API. I suspect that many of the parameters should
instead be handled through the ISP parameters buffers, or be controlled
from standard V4L2 APIs.
