+``V4L2_CID_LOCATION (integer)``
+    This read-only control describes the camera location by reporting its
+    mounting position on the device where the camera is installed. This
+    control is particularly meaningful for devices which have a well defined
+    orientation, such as phones, laptops and portable devices as the camera
+    location is expressed as a position relative to the device intended
+    usage position. In example, a camera installed on the user-facing side
+    of a phone device is said to be installed in the ``V4L2_LOCATION_FRONT``
+    position.

    This control may be changed to a menu control in the future, if more
    options are required.
