Agreed; the preset functionality isn't shown to the user space. The sensor
implements it and in my understanding some sensor features (not implemented
in the driver) like flash strobe timing requires it.

We should discuss at some point how to best support sensors like this, but I
don't think it has to be now.

I see no reason why this patch (v4l: Add v4l2 subdev driver for S5K6AAFX
sensor) shouldn't go in right now.
