I have a few concerns / questions:
- What's the purpose of this patch? Why not to access the sub-device node
directly?
I don't really understand what you are trying to say.<snip>
Actually I think I understand what you mean now. Yes, the user can
always access a subdev's control directly from its /dev/v4l-subdevXX.
I'm only providing this feature as a convenience to the user, so that
all controls in a pipeline can be accessed from one place, i.e. the
main capture device node.
