Can the FIXME be fixed?
Yes, but it's quite a bit of work. It makes sense to use a static virtual
channel for now. A patchset which is however incomplete can be found here:

<URL:https://git.linuxtv.org/sailus/media_tree.git/log/?h=vc>

For what it's worth, all other devices use virtual channel zero for image
data and so should this one.

Is exposure_absolute supposed to be in microseconds...?
Yes. OTOH V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE has no defined unit, so it's a better fit IMO.
Way more drivers appear to be using EXPOSURE than EXPOSURE_ABSOLUTE, too.

Ideally we should have only one control for exposure.
