Well, standartized API may be good idea... but I'd really like the
driver to go in, and it looks like camera application needs to know
quite a lot of details about the autofocus subsystem.

Why? Look at how fcam-dev/ works. It is not interested when movement
is "done". It sets the focus to one distance, then says it to slowly
refocus to another distance, and watches the stream for
sharpness. When it is sharp, it computes likely lens position at the
time of sharpness, and asks hardware to go back there.
