It is a way of Moto to send updates for the camera without using a system firmware update. It has no user interface or anything that you can use it for.

Thanks. So if I use a third party camera app like Cameringo it won't have any effect, or?

It is designed so Moto can tune the camera hardware if I understand correctly, like it's firmware, so yes, it could potentially effect other software.

Have they done that ever? Would we know if/when they do?

No idea... although this has been out for some time on other models, just Google "Moto Camera Tuner app" and you will find tons of references to it.

We know what it does though...

This tool allow chromatix calibration to be deployed to data/misc/camera when the camera starts up it looks for these files if none are found falls back to the default ones found at /system/vendor/lib/

Loading Library libmmcamera2_sensor_modules.so

It's a Motorola utility to apply maintenance and performance patches to the camera module it uses in Moto phones, so I'd just leave it alone as is. It's a system-level app that's part of the firmware so you can't Uninstall it anyway. Besides, it's only a few kilobytes in size and only uses a minuscule amount of system resources even when it might be in use (which isn't very often), so there's no real benefit to trying to micromanage it.
