I'm tempted to drop support for the colour gains really, and turn the
V4L2_CID_GAIN into V4L2_CID_DIGITAL_GAIN. Digital colour gains can still
be useful on platforms that have no ISP, but I think we need an array of
gains in that case, not abusing V4L2_CID_RED_BALANCE and
V4L2_CID_BLUE_BALANCE. Any objection ?
