dev_warn() or dev_info() might be more appropriate actually. Or even
dev_dbg(). This isn't a grave problem; just a sign the user space is trying
to move the lens before it has reached its previous target position.

If the user is trying to tell where to move the lens next, no time should
be wasted on waiting. It'd perhaps rather make sense to return an error
(-EBUSY): the user application (as well as the application developer) would
know about the attempt to move the lens too fast and could take an informed
decision on what to do next. This could include changing the target
position, waiting more or changing the program to adjust the 3A loop
behaviour.

You could omit media_entity_pads_init() but not setting the entity
function. The function un-doing what media_entity_pads_init() does is
media_entity_cleanup() which is currently empty; it wasn't always that way:
the idea is that there would be work to be done to clean up an entity going
forward.
