[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] libcamera: camera_lens: Add a new class to model a camera lens

The CameraLens class abstracts camera lens and provides helper
functions to ease interactions with them.

+Lens Driver Requirements
+========================
+
+libcamera handles lens devices in the CameraLens class and defines
+a consistent interface through its API towards other library components.
+
+The CameraLens class uses the V4L2 subdev kernel API to interface with the
+camera lens through one or multiple sub-devices exposed in userspace by
+the lens driver.
+
+In order for libcamera to be fully operational and provide all the required
+information to interface with the camera lens to applications and pipeline
+handlers, a set of mandatory features the driver has to support has been defined.
+
+Mandatory Requirements
+----------------------
+
+The lens driver is assumed to be fully compliant with the V4L2 specification.
+
+The lens driver shall support the following V4L2 controls:
+
+* `V4L2_CID_FOCUS_ABSOLUTE`_
