Sakari, what about adding those as standard camera controls? It seems ad5820
is not the only VCM driver to implement "antiringing" controls, http://rohmfs.rohm.com/en/products/databook/datasheet/ic/motor/mobile_module/bu64241gwz-e.pdf
is another example I found by quick search.

Well, standartized API may be good idea... but I'd really like the
driver to go in, and it looks like camera application needs to know
quite a lot of details about the autofocus subsystem. 

What about:

#define V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE xxx
enum v4l2_cid_focus_step_mode {
V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE_DIRECT,
V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE_LINEAR,
V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_MODE_AUTO
};
#define V4L2_CID_FOCUS_STEP_TIME xxx+1

Also, how the userspace(or the kernel) is notified by v4l that there is an
event? The point is - I think it is a good idea to notify when VCM has
completed its movement, we can start a timer based on the current
position,

Why? Look at how fcam-dev/ works. It is not interested when movement
is "done". It sets the focus to one distance, then says it to slowly
refocus to another distance, and watches the stream for
sharpness. When it is sharp, it computes likely lens position at the
time of sharpness, and asks hardware to go back there.

Best regards,
