The component offsets were computed in a negative way: they were
subtracted from the actual color component value.
So, a higher offset was reducing the component value.
This is not really desirable, as the offset is a 2's complements
number with 1 bit for sign and 12 value bits, so we would like to be able
to also add to the component, not only subtract.
The reported number in v4l2 is fine, a range from -4095 to +4095.
However when configuring a negative value for the offset, this would in
fact not function, because with the old code, the number was subtracted
from the max value. By setting something negative, it was overflowing in
fact. Reworked the component offsets by placing the real value as the
v4l2 ctrls.
Now, the values are the real number that is added or subtracted from
the component.
The negative values received from v4l2 are already in 2's complements, so
there is no need for conversion.
This actually simplifies a lot the computation procedure, eliminating the
need for the macros that convert from v4l2 values to ISC values and
viceversa.
Also the ZERO_VAL is eliminated, as 0 is now 0, as it's supposed to be.
Example after this change:
# v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=red_component_offset=-150 -L

The auto white balance algorithm is unchanged, but the obtained value to
'subtract' is now converted to negative and saved as a v4l2 control and
displayed properly.
