It's nice to share code, but I'd like to make it clear that my first
focus is a good API towards applications, my second focus a good API
towards pipeline handlers and IPAs, and internal code sharing is only my
third focus. As long as libcamera and V4L2 controls are similar enough
that code can be shared, I have no issue with that. If we figure out
later that differences are needed, I will choose separate
implementations over any regression in the public API for the purpose of
code sharing.

Yes, we will then need an explicit copy constructor.
