Userspace implementation exists, it is called fcam-dev. What it
does... Starts capture, selects focus speed, makes it go through focus
range, looks for the sharpest image in the stream.

Then it computes time when the image was sharpest and thus lens
position, and goes back there.

So for ad5820, we need basically focus position and focus speed. (And
some 16/64 option).

Other coil drivers also have PWM vs. linear option.
