Hi Huzaifa,

First of all many thanks for working on this!

Comments inline.

Hi All,
I have been working with Hans for moving the v4l1 ioctls from the kernel
to libv4l1.
It would be best to work on one ioctl at a time.
The enclosed patch attempts to implement VIDIOCGCAP in the libv4l1.

Note: Hans is working with Bill, asking for permission to re-use the
v4l1-compat.c code under the LGPL

We don't need this function, see below.

The kernel mallocs struct v4l2_capability because the kernel
stack is severely limited, no need to do that in userspace, just
put the entire struct on the stack.

You can get the memset effect, by initalizing the first field of the
struct to 0, the compiler will then 0 out the rest:
		struct v4l2_framebuffer fbuf = { 0, };
		struct v4l2_capability cap2 =  { 0, };

No need to check size here, as we override that below, so this line can
be dropped.

This can be dropped too.

  		/* override kernel v4l1 compat min / max size with our own more
  		   accurate values */

And the override comment can be dropped to, as we no longer will be
suing the v4l1 compat code check_size stuff.

No need to do this either when we drop the malloc.
