+- rotation: The camera rotation is expressed as the angular difference in
+  degrees between two reference systems, one relative to the camera module, and
+  one defined on the external world scene to be captured when projected on the
+  image sensor pixel array.
+
+  A camera sensor has a 2-dimensional reference system 'Rc' defined by
+  its pixel array read-out order. The origin is set to the first pixel
+  being read out, the X-axis points along the column read-out direction
+  towards the last columns, and the Y-axis along the row read-out
+  direction towards the last row.
+
+  A typical example for a sensor with a 2592x1944 pixel array matrix
+  observed from the front is:
+
+              2591       X-axis          0

+  The external world scene reference system 'Rs' is a 2-dimensional
+  reference system on the focal plane of the camera module. The origin is
+  placed on the top-left corner of the visible scene, the X-axis points
+  towards the right, and the Y-axis points towards the bottom of the
+  scene. The top, bottom, left and right directions are intentionally not
+  defined and depend on the environment in which the camera is used.
+
+  A typical example of a (very common) picture of a shark swimming from
+  left to right, as seen from the camera, is:

+
+  When projected on the sensor's pixel array, the image and the associated
+  reference system 'Rs' are typically (but not always) inverted, due to
+  the camera module's lens optical inversion effect.
+
+  Assuming the above represented scene of the swimming shark, the lens
+  inversion projects the scene and its reference system onto the sensor
+  pixel array, seen from the front of the camera sensor, as follows:
+
+            Y-axis
+               ^
+               !
+               !

+               0               X-axis
+
+  Note the shark being upside-down.
+
+  The resulting projected reference system is named 'Rp'.
+
+  The camera rotation property is then defined as the angular difference
+  in the counter-clockwise direction between the camera reference system
+  'Rc' and the projected scene reference system 'Rp'. It is expressed in
+  degrees as a number in the range [0, 360[.

+- orientation: The orientation of a device (typically an image sensor or a flash
+  LED) describing its mounting position relative to the usage orientation of the
+  system where the device is installed on.
+  Possible values are:
+  0 - Front. The device is mounted on the front facing side of the system.
+  For mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops the front side is
+  the user facing side.
+  1 - Back. The device is mounted on the back side of the system, which is
+  defined as the opposite side of the front facing one.
+  2 - External. The device is not attached directly to the system but is
+  attached in a way that allows it to move freely.

+    Example one - Webcam
+
+    Assuming you can bring your laptop with you while swimming with sharks,
+    the camera module of the laptop is installed on the user facing part of a
+    laptop screen casing, and is typically used for video calls. The captured
+    images are meant to be displayed in landscape mode (width > height) on the
+    laptop screen.
+
+    The camera is typically mounted upside-down to compensate the lens optical
+    inversion effect. In this case the value of the
+    V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION control is 0, no rotation is required to
+    display images correctly to the user.
+
+    If the camera sensor is not mounted upside-down it is required to compensate
+    the lens optical inversion effect and the value of the
+    V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION control is 180 degrees, as images will

+    Example two - Phone camera
+
+    It is more handy to go and swim with sharks with only your mobile phone
+    with you and take pictures with the camera that is installed on the back
+    side of the device, facing away from the user. The captured images are meant
+    to be displayed in portrait mode (height > width) to match the device screen
+    orientation and the device usage orientation used when taking the picture.
+
+    The camera sensor is typically mounted with its pixel array longer side
+    aligned to the device longer side, upside-down mounted to compensate for
+    the lens optical inversion effect.
+
+    The images once captured to memory will be rotated and the value of the
