Looking at drivers/media/video/pwc/pwc-v4l2.c there is something like: const char * const pwc_auto_whitebal_qmenu[] = { "Indoor (Incandescant Lighting) Mode", "Outdoor (Sunlight) Mode", "Indoor (Fluorescent Lighting) Mode", "Manual Mode", "Auto Mode", NULL }; static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config pwc_auto_white_balance_cfg = { .ops = &pwc_ctrl_ops, .id = V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE, .type = V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU, .max = awb_auto, .qmenu = pwc_auto_whitebal_qmenu, }; ... cfg = pwc_auto_white_balance_cfg; cfg.name = v4l2_ctrl_get_name(cfg.id); cfg.def = def; pdev->auto_white_balance = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(hdl, &cfg, NULL); So this driver re-defines V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE as a menu control with custom entries. That's interesting... However it works in practice and applications have access to what's provided by hardware. Perhaps V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE would be a better fit for that :) Nevertheless, redefining standard controls in particular drivers sounds a little dubious. I wonder if this is a generally agreed approach ? Then, how does your V4L2_CID_PRESET_WHITE_BALANCE control interact with V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE control ? Does V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE need to be set to false for V4L2_CID_PRESET_WHITE_BALANCE to be effective ? > Signed-off-by: HeungJun, Kim <riverful.kim@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.park@xxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/controls.xml | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > drivers/media/video/v4l2-ctrls.c | 12 ++++++++ > include/linux/videodev2.h | 9 ++++++ > 3 files changed, 59 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/controls.xml b/Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/controls.xml > index c0422c6..350c138 100644 > --- a/Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/controls.xml > +++ b/Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/controls.xml > @@ -2841,6 +2841,44 @@ it one step further.
