IPU3 here does

	ControlList ctrls(sensorCtrls_);
	ctrls.set(V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE, exposure);
	ctrls.set(V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN, gain);

	ControlList lensCtrls(lensCtrls_);
	lensCtrls.set(V4L2_CID_FOCUS_ABSOLUTE,
		      static_cast<int32_t>(context_.activeState.af.focus));

	setSensorControls.emit(frame, ctrls, lensCtrls);

While Daniel has implemented

	ControlList ctrls(sensorCtrls_);
	ctrls.set(V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE, static_cast<int32_t>(exposure));
	ctrls.set(V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN, static_cast<int32_t>(gain));

	setSensorControls.emit(frame, ctrls);
	if (lensCtrls_ && context_.frameContext.af.applyLensCtrls) {
		context_.frameContext.af.applyLensCtrls = false;
		ControlList lensCtrls(*lensCtrls_);
		lensCtrls.set(V4L2_CID_FOCUS_ABSOLUTE,
				static_cast<int32_t>(context_.frameContext.af.lensPosition));
		setLensControls.emit(lensCtrls);
	}

Yesterday we briefly discussed about the possibility of sending
both sensor and lens controls as part of a single control list, but
what's the preference in the meantime ? One signal with 2 lists or 2
signals ?

I would prefer a single signal, mostly because it's handling is
synchronous and we can avoid one context switch ?
