Hi Hans,

Thanks for the review.

Just to confirm, do you mean `npcm_video_enum_framesizes` and
`npcm_video_enum_frameintervals` functions?

Will correct it.

The Video Capture/Differentiation (VCD) engine supports two modes:
- COMPLETE (capture the next "complete frame" into memory)
- DIFF (compare the incoming frame with the frame stored in memory,
and updates the "diff frame" in memory)

The purpose here is to provide a way for application to switch the
COMPLETE/DIFF mode. Since I couldn't find an appropriate ioctl that is
designed for this purpose, so I used VIDIOC_S_CTRL with control values
of V4L2_DETECT_MD_MODE_GLOBAL (for COMPLETE) and
V4L2_DETECT_MD_MODE_REGION_GRID (for DIFF). It would be appreciated if
you could point me in the right direction.

OK, I'll try to compile v4l2-compliance and include the output.
