Some new UVC cameras can report whether they are mounted in 'portrait
mode'.
Current roll degrees (-90, 0, 90, 180) are reported with
UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL.
Map UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL to V4L2_CID_ROLL_ABSOLUTE to
make it available to userspace.

UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL is about controlling the motion of the
camera along the roll axis, while this patch series sounds like you want
to support reporting the mounting orientation of the device, not cause
the device to rotate. Is that right ?
If that's the case, the right V4L2 control to use would be
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION. Mapping it to
UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL is problematic though, as
UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL is not meant for this in the UVC spec. We
would likely need a quirk to control how it gets used.

The SET_CUR of UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL is optional, so I think
it's for reporting also.
The cameras I've tested before can't roll the sensor, they only report
the angle/orientation.
Yes, I was thinking to support the mounting orientation report, however
I tried a friend's DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which can roll the sensor in +-
30˚ with ROLL_ABSOLUTE UVC control. It can also be
Panned/Tilted/Zoomed, very cool.
I think mapping UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL to V4L2_CID_ROLL_ABSOLUTE
would be useful. I can reword the commit message a bit if you'd like.

I can also create a quirk for the other two cameras to map
UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL to V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION.
Maybe it can be detected if CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL doesn't have
SET_CUR, default 0, step 90.
