I have missed this patch from Hugues that address almost the same
issue
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg133264.html

I feel this new one is simpler, and unless we want to avoid going
through the control framework, it is not worth adding new functions to
handle auto-exposure as Hugues' patch is doing.

Hugues, do you have comments? Feel free to add your sob or rb tags if
you like to.

Thanks
