Sorry, that is of course, if there is no V4L1 compat layer still in
place.

BTW, qx5view uses a private ioctl() to change the lights on a QX5 and
not the V4L2 control.

In qx5view:

void setlight() {
#define CPIA2_IOC_SET_GPIO         _IOR('v', BASE_VIDIOCPRIVATE + 17, __u32)
    ioctl(dev, CPIA2_IOC_SET_GPIO, light_setting);
}


In the cpia2 driver:

       /* CPIA2 extension to Video4Linux API */
        case CPIA2_IOC_SET_GPIO:
                retval = ioctl_set_gpio(arg, cam);
                break;

Yuck.

Regards,
Andy
