I can remove this from the commit message.

Ack, the next version will do this.

True, this is a typo in the commit message, i'll fix it.

Agree, I prefer LIBCAMERA_HAS_* as well.

Regarding moving this to a new config.h generated file, I have a
slight preference to keep it in the existing control_ids.h file only
because it will always be #included in the application if they use
controls.  But we can change if folks a separate file may be better.
