Hi Hans,

Thank you for the review.

:-)

I noticed the problem, too, as the lkp bot failed compiling this on GCC
7.5. Indeed only GCC 8 supports __VA_OPT__ but the oldest GCC version
supported for kernel compilation is 7.1. So __VA_OPT__ isn't... an option.

I thought this could be done using variable arguments, making most error
handling take place at runtime (for GCC versions not supporting
__VA_OPT__), but then Laurent figured this can be done with just
__VA_ARGS__ which is part of C99.

The code would look like this, which is only slightly less understandable
than with __VA_OPT__:

#define v4l2_subdev_state_get_format(...)				\
	__v4l2_subdev_state_get_format_var(__VA_ARGS__, , _2)(__VA_ARGS__)
#define __v4l2_subdev_state_get_format_var(_1, _2, _3, NUM, ...)	\
	__v4l2_subdev_state_get_format ## NUM
#define __v4l2_subdev_state_get_format_2(state, pad) \
	__v4l2_subdev_state_get_format(state, pad, 0)
struct v4l2_mbus_framefmt *
__v4l2_subdev_state_get_format(struct v4l2_subdev_state *state,
			       unsigned int pad, u32 stream);

I'm trying to shorten function names here: they're overly long. Also I'd
like to see a single set of API functions to access sub-device state
information irrespective of how it is stored. I originally proposed just
specifying stream zero but both Laurent and Tomi opined against it.
