Hi
Names of V4L2 device nodes keep on varying depending on target, on some
targets, the device node assigned to my device is /dev/video21 and on some
it is /dev/video15. In order to determine my device, i am opening it,
reading the capabilities, enumerating its formats and then chose the one
matching my requirements. This is impacting start-up latency. One way to
resolve this without impacting start-up latency is to give custom name to
my V4L2 device node (/dev/custom_name instead of /dev/video21). This needs
following change in V4L2 framework. Please review this patch. If you have
faced similar problem please let me know.
