Sakari, what about adding those as standard camera controls? It seems 
ad5820 is not the only VCM driver to implement "antiringing" controls, 
http://rohmfs.rohm.com/en/products/databook/datasheet/ic/motor/mobile_module/bu64241gwz-e.pdf 
is another example I found by quick search.

What about:

#define V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE xxx
enum v4l2_cid_focus_step_mode {
V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE_DIRECT,
V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE_LINEAR,
V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE_AUTO
};
#define V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_TIME xxx+1

Also, how the userspace(or the kernel) is notified by v4l that there is 
an event? The point is - I think it is a good idea to notify when VCM 
has completed its movement, we can start a timer based on the current 
position, mode, step time etc and notify after the pre-calculated 
movement time.

Here ftp://ftp.analog.com/pub/evalcd/AD5820_v1_0/AD5820_Quickstart.pdf 
can be found the modes/timings description for ad5820 along with the 
equations needed to calculate timings etc.
