I still don't think this belongs here.

I think I told you about the generic pipeline configuration library I worked
on years ago; unfortunately it was left on prototype stage. Still, what I
realised was that something very similar is needed in that library ---
associating information to the representation of the media entities (or the
V4L2 sub-devices) in user space that has got nothing to do with the devices
themselves.

We could have e.g. a list of key--value pairs where the key is a pointer
provided by the user (i.e. application, another library) that could be
associated with the value. That would avoid having explicit information on
that in the struct media_entity itself.

An quicker alternative would be to manage a list of controls e.g. in the
plugin itself and store the media entity where they're implemented in that
list, with the control value.

Cc Laurent as well.
