We're now adding a way for bridges to override that, which makes me wonder whether private controls are really the best way to express this. Shouldn't we think about what we're trying to achieve with controls and places where they're exposed and then possibly rework the code accordingly ? -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
