This series adds a new v4l2 controls named "strobe duration" with id
V4L2_CID_FLASH_DURATION. This control enables setting a desired
flash/strobe length/duration in µs.

As a first user of this new control add basic flash/strobe support for
ov9282 sensors using their "hardware strobe output". The duration
calculation is only interpolated from various measurements, as no
documentation was found.

Further flash/strobe-related controls as well as a migration to v4l2-cci
helpers for ov9282 will likely be implemented in future series.

All register addresses/values are based on the OV9281 datasheet v1.53
(january 2019). This series was tested using an ov9281 VisionComponents
camera module.
