"Fixed Point" is not a unit, it's a type. 'Db', 'Hz' etc. are units.
A quick "git grep -i "fixed point" Documentation/userspace-api/media/'
only shows a single driver specific control (dw100.rst).
I'm not aware of other controls in mainline that use fixed point.
Note that V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_FIXED_POINT is a Q31.32 format. By setting
min/max/step you can easily map that to just about any QN.M format where
N <= 31 and M <= 32.
In the case of dw100 it is a bit different in that it is quite specialized
and it had to fit in 16 bits.

Hans
