I think it would make the API nicer.

stdint.h should go just before string, we mix the C and C++ headers.

We need to return some default values until all sensors provide the
information we need, but I wouldn't call those "widely applicable
default values". It makes it sound those defaults will have a high
chance of working, while that's not specifically the case.

Here the lack of sensor-specific values is reported with a more
appropriate seriousness. Let's update the comments to match.

A \brief should be brief :-) Make it a single short sentence, and you
can add more information in the body of the documentation.

The AR0144 has a 2 frames delay for all parameters. Assuming that "2
frames delay" means that parameters set during frame N will take effect
for frame N+2 (so a delay of 0 means the parameter is applied
immediately to the current frame). Maybe this should be documented more
clearly above.
Note that the sensor can also be programmed to apply a one frame delay
instead of two frames for the analog gain. The value is therefore
driver-dependent, and could even be changed dynamically. That's
something to worry about later.

The AR0521 will be interesting. The exposure time has a 2 frames delay,
while the analog gain will have a 1 frame delay if it is set alone, and
a 2 frames delay if the exposure time is also set during the same frame.
This is something we should consider when we'll develop a tool to
measure delays.
The sensor can be configured to have a fixed 2 frames delay for the
analog gain, but that's not how the driver currently configures it.
The delay for the blanking values doesn't seem to be documented.
