There are several errors reported by V4L that aren't described.
They can occur on almost all ioctl's. Instead of adding them
into each ioctl, create a new chapter.
For V4L, the new chapter will automatically be listed on all
places, as there's a macro used everywhere there.

Split try_or_set_ext_ctrls() into a validate_ctrls() part ('Phase 1')
and merge the second part ('Phase 2') into try_set_ext_ctrls().
This makes a lot more sense and it also does the validation before
trying to try/set the controls.

The implementation of VIDIOC_G/S/TRY_EXT_CTRLS in the control framework has
to figure out which controls in the control list belong to the same cluster.
Since controls belonging to the same cluster need to be handled as a unit,
this is important information.
It did that by going over the controls in the list and for each control that
belonged to a multi-control cluster it would walk the remainder of the list
to try and find controls that belong to that same cluster.
This approach has two disadvantages:
1) it was a potentially quadratic algorithm (although highly unlikely that
it would ever be that bad in practice).
2) it took place with the control handler's lock held.
Since we want to make it possible in the future to change control values
from interrupt context, doing a lot of work while holding a lock is not a
good idea.
In the new code the algorithm is no longer quadratic but linear in the
number of controls in the list. Also, it now can be done beforehand.
Another change that was made was to so the try and set at the same time.
Before when S_TRY_EXT_CTRLS was called it would 'try' the controls first,
and then it would 'set' them. The idea was that any 'try' errors would
prevent the 'set' from happening, thus avoiding having partially set
control lists.
However, this caused more problems than it solved because between the 'try'
and the 'set' changes might have happened, so it had to try a second time,
and since actual controls with a try_ctrl op are very rare (and those that
we have just adjust values and do not return an error), I've decided to
drop that two-stage approach and just combine try and set.

When the event queue for a subscribed event is full, then the oldest
event is dropped. It would be nice if the contents of that oldest
event could be merged with the next-oldest. That way no information is
lost, only intermediate steps are lost.
This patch adds optional replace() (called when only one kevent was allocated)
and merge() (called when more than one kevent was allocated) callbacks that
will be called to do this job.
These two callbacks are implemented for the V4L2_EVENT_CTRL event.

The driver had to decide how many events to allocate when the v4l2_fh struct
was created. It was possible to add more events afterwards, but there was no
way to ensure that you wouldn't miss important events if the event queue
would fill up for that filehandle.
In addition, once there were no more free events, any new events were simply
dropped on the floor.
For the control event in particular this made life very difficult since
control status/value changes could just be missed if the number of allocated
events and the speed at which the application read events was too low to keep
up with the number of generated events. The application would have no idea
what the latest state was for a control since it could have missed the latest
control change.
So this patch makes some major changes in how events are allocated. Instead
of allocating events per-filehandle they are now allocated when subscribing an
event. So for that particular event type N events (determined by the driver)
are allocated. Those events are reserved for that particular event type.
This ensures that you will not miss events for a particular type altogether.
In addition, if there are N events in use and a new event is raised, then
the oldest event is dropped and the new one is added. So the latest event
is always available.
This can be further improved by adding the ability to merge the state of
two events together, ensuring that no data is lost at all. This will be
added in the next patch.
This also makes it possible to allow the user to determine the number of
events that will be allocated. This is not implemented at the moment, but
would be trivial.

The v4l2_ctrl_fh struct connected v4l2_ctrl with v4l2_fh so the control
would know which filehandles subscribed to it. However, it is much easier
to use struct v4l2_subscribed_event directly for that and get rid of that
intermediate struct.

Drivers that supported events used to be rare, but now that controls can also
raise events this will become much more common since almost all drivers have
controls.
This means that keeping struct v4l2_events as a separate struct make no more
sense. Merging it into struct v4l2_fh simplifies things substantially as it
is now an integral part of the filehandle struct.

This patch removes .enum_input(), .suspend() and .resume() soc-camera
client operations.
Functionality, provided by .enum_input(), if needed, can be implemented
using the v4l2-subdev API.
As for .suspend() and .resume(), the only client driver, implementing
these methods has been mt9m111, and the only host driver, using them
has been pxa-camera. Now that both those drivers have been converted
to the standard subdev .s_power() operation, .suspend() and .resume()
can be removed.

It is a bit tricky to handle autogain/gain type scenerios correctly. Such
controls need to be clustered and the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_UPDATE should be set on
the autofoo controls. In addition, the manual controls should be marked
inactive when the automatic mode is on, and active when the manual mode is on.
This also requires specialized volatile handling.
The chances of drivers doing all these things correctly are pretty remote.
So a new v4l2_ctrl_auto_cluster function was added that takes care of these
issues.

If you have a cluster of controls that is a mix of volatile and non-volatile
controls, then requesting the value of the volatile control would fail if the
master control of that cluster was non-volatile. The code assumed that the
volatile state of the master control was the same for all other controls in
the cluster.
This is now fixed.
In addition, it was clear from bugs in some drivers that it was confusing that
the ctrl->cur union had to be used in g_volatile_ctrl. Several drivers used the
'new' values instead. The framework was changed so that drivers now set the new
value instead of the current value.
This has an additional benefit as well: the volatile values are now only stored
in the 'new' value, leaving the current value alone. This is useful for
autofoo/foo control clusters where you want to have a 'foo' control act like a
volatile control if 'autofoo' is on, but as a normal control when it is off.
Since with this change the cur value is no longer overwritten when g_volatile_ctrl
is called, you can use it to remember the original 'foo' value. For example:
autofoo = 0, foo = 10 and foo is non-volatile.
Now autofoo is set to 1 and foo is marked volatile. Retrieving the foo value
will get the volatile value. Set autofoo back to 0, which marks foo as non-
volatile again, and retrieving foo will get the old current value of 10.
