Ok, I looked harder yet... First, to documentation - I haven't found 
anything under Documentation/video4linux on controls, nor in the 
cideodevice2.h. Where should it be documented?

As for existing drivers, under drivers/media/video I found:

ov511.c: uses a module parameter to set auto exposure

ovcamchip/ov????.c: uses a control, but AFAICS, it uses all private 
	controls just numbering from 0 in an enum in ovcamchip.h...

w9968cf.c: module parameter and enum from ovcamchip.h

cpia2/cpia2_core.c: static autoexposure setting on camera reset

That's all a simple grep produced. Don't see what could easily be improved 
in the existing drivers?

Thanks
