Hi Michael Thanks for the patch. I've got a personal interest here as I'd love to be able to control a couple of CCTV lenses that I have. Those have standard motors with potentiometers for position feedback, not stepper motors, but otherwise have the same limitations of slow movement.

The units are undefined, but positive and negative mean something with respect to some unspecified focal distance represented by 0. That seems a little odd. I was going to suggest that it seems to make sense to follow the same units as V4L2_CID_FOCUS_ABSOLUTE, but on reading that description in [1] it's the same text. I suspect there was a little too much copy/paste from V4L2_CID_FOCUS_RELATIVE, or the intent was that increasing the value brings the focus closer, and decreasing moves it towards infinity. If we did specify that it was the same units as V4L2_CID_FOCUS_ABSOLUTE, then what would that mean for use with V4L2_CID_FOCUS_RELATIVE? Then again the only user of _RELATIVE appears to be ov5693 with atomisp and that just maps it onto _ABSOLUTE, so potentially it's redundant and could be deprecated.

When would the lens state transition from V4L2_LENS_STATUS_REACHED to V4L2_LENS_STATUS_IDLE? If it's reached the position then it is at rest, and being at rest is the definition of V4L2_LENS_STATUS_IDLE. Likewise the lens always has a target position based on the control value, so it's always at V4L2_LENS_STATUS_REACHED when it's not moving. Is there a need to have 2 states? If the position is the same units as V4L2_CID_FOCUS_ABSOLUTE, then do you leave the determination of state to the application? > ``V4L2_CID_FOCUS_AUTO (boolean)`` > Enables continuous automatic focus adjustments.
