+- orientation: The orientation of a device (typically an image sensor or a flash
+  LED) describing its mounting position relative to the usage orientation of the
+  system where the device is installed on.
+  Possible values are:
+  0 - Front. The device is mounted on the front facing side of the system.
+  For mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops the front side is
+  the user facing side.
+  1 - Back. The device is mounted on the back side of the system, which is
+  defined as the opposite side of the front facing one.
+  2 - External. The device is not attached directly to the system but is
+  attached in a way that allows it to move freely.
