soc-camera: Why are exposure and gain handled via special cases?

[Jonathan Cameron]

Hi All,

Whilst working on merging the various ov7670 drivers posted
recently, I came across the following in soc-camera:

static int soc_camera_g_ctrl(struct file *file, void *priv,
                             struct v4l2_control *ctrl)
{
        struct soc_camera_file *icf = file->private_data;
        struct soc_camera_device *icd = icf->icd;
        struct soc_camera_host *ici = to_soc_camera_host(icd->dev.parent);

        WARN_ON(priv != file->private_data);

        switch (ctrl->id) {
        case V4L2_CID_GAIN:
                if (icd->gain == (unsigned short)~0)
                        return -EINVAL;
                ctrl->value = icd->gain;
                return 0;
        case V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE:
                if (icd->exposure == (unsigned short)~0)
                        return -EINVAL;
                ctrl->value = icd->exposure;
                return 0;
        }

        return v4l2_device_call_until_err(&ici->v4l2_dev, (__u32)icd, core, 
g_ctrl, ctrl);
}

Why are these two cases and only these two handled by soc-camera rather than 
being passed
on to the drivers?

Thanks,

Jonathan
