You forgot to update Documentation/media/kapi/v4l2-controls.rst.

Changing all drivers to tell if a control belongs to a subdev or not
seems weird. I won't doubt that people may get it wrong and fill it
with a wrong value.

IMHO, it would be better, instead, to pass some struct to the function
that would allow the function to check if the device is a subdev
or not.

For example, we could do:

int v4l2_ctrl_subdev_add_handler(struct v4l2_ctrl_handler *hdl,
				 struct v4l2_subdev *sd,
                        	 v4l2_ctrl_filter filter);

That should be used for all subdev controls. Internally, such
function would be using:
	sd->control_handler
as the add parameter for v4l2_ctrl_add_handler().

I would also try to do the same for devices: have a
v4l2_ctrl_dev_add_handler() that would take a struct v4l2_dev, and
make v4l2_ctrl_add_handler() a static function inside v4l2-ctrls.c.

This way, we should avoid the risk of wrong usages.

Thanks,
Mauro
