I'm revisiting this patch as it has been reverted in v3.8-rc1.

I've reread the V4L2 specification, and the least I can say is that the text 
is pretty ambiguous. Let's clarify it.

Is there a reason to differentiate between invalid control IDs and other 
errors as far as error_idx is concerned ? It would be simpler if error_idx was 
set to the index of the first error for get and try operations, regardless of 
the error type. What do you think ?
