I can't help noticing you have no reserved fields in your IOCTL argument
struct. That has generally been the way V4L2 IOCTLs have been extended when
there's been a need to.
Media controller adopted a different approach to that recently, based on
the argument size. We've discussed doing that on V4L2 but I don't think
a decision has been made.
