I understand the need. I'm not against an implementation for such
feature, provided that it won't break anything.

I guess one of the things we miss at V4L2 API is an indication from
userspace about what it supports. I mean, just like we have the
caps flags where the Kernel reports what it supports, we could have
a similar "userspace caps"  field.

Yeah, the apps I'm aware of usually call memset() before filling
V4L2 structs. On those, adding this behavior would be ok. Yet,
I'm not sure if 100% of (open source) apps do that.

Agreed.
