Hi Mikhail,

Thank you for the patch.

Lowercase for hex constatns please.

Is the default value really x2 ? That's not very nice :-S

It would be much nicer if the default value of the control mapped to x1,
otherwise it's impossible for userspace to interpret the scale of the
digital gain value in a generic way. I suppose that could break existing
applications though, which isn't great.

Out of curiosity, can you tell what SoC(s) you're using this sensor with
?
