> +Description
> +===========
> +
> +These ioctls are used to get and set the routing in a media entity.
> +The routing configuration determines the flows of data inside an entity.
> +
> +Drivers report their current routing tables using the
> +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` ioctl and application may enable or disable routes
> +with the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` ioctl, by adding or removing routes and
> +setting or clearing flags of the ``flags`` field of a
> +struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`.
> +
> +All stream configurations are reset when ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is called. This
> +means that the userspace mut reconfigure all streams after calling the ioctl
s/mut/must/
> +with e.g. ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``.
> +
> +A special case for routing are routes marked with
> +``V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_SOURCE`` flag. These routes are used to describe
> +source endpoints on sensors and the sink fields are unused.
> +
> +When inspecting routes through ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` and the application
> +provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes
> +the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the
> +value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory
> +for all the route entries and call ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` again.

This doesn't sound right. Maybe:
"The number of route entries provided is less than the available
routes on the device."
But presumably this would be opposites for G_ROUTING and S_ROUTING,
where on G_ROUTING the userspace must provide at least as many route
entries as the driver/device has, and on S_ROUTING, they must provide
not more than?
