[PATCH v2 2/4] media: v4l2-dev.c: Allow driver-defined entity names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the driver provides an name for an entity, use it.
This is particularly useful for drivers that export multiple video
devices for the same hardware (i.e. metadata and data).
