I know Laurent suggested this change[1] so that (AIUI) exposure max
limits are easier to compute around mode changes.

I'm currently seeing this as a fair amount of boilerplate to be added
to all drivers so that two controls provide effectively the same
information, and I'm not convinced it saves any significant effort in
userspace. Can you (or Laurent) detail exactly what the issue is that
the new control solves?

Do we need to do the same for HBLANK as well, or do we live with an
asymmetrical set of controls.

Thanks
  Dave
