Right. The driver cannot just drop a control setting on the floor if
it's not ready to apply it.

However, the V4L2 control framework already provides a tool to handle this:
- the driver can ignore any .s_ctrl() calls when it can't apply the controls,
- the driver must call v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup() when it initialized
the hardware, so that all the control values are applied in one go.

Best regards,
Tomasz
