Agreed. Should we allow drivers not to define the unsubscribe operation when 
they don't need it ? In that case v4l2_event_unsubscribe should be called in 
VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT, outside of the operation handler.

Similarly, shouldn't v4l2_event_subscribe be called in VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT, 
outside of the operation handler ?
