I think controls are the wrong tool for this job though. The ISP
requires a large number of parameters, which would I think be better
suited passed as a parameters buffer like the ipu3 and rkisp1 driver do
for most of the data. Some parameters may still make sense as controls
(possibly mostly for the CSI2RX parameters), but I haven't checked that
in details.
