From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>
Complex controls are controls that can be used for compound and array
types. This allows for more complex data structures to be used with the
control framework.
Such controls always have the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HIDDEN flag set. Note that
'simple' controls can also set that flag.
The existing V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag will only enumerate controls
that do not have the HIDDEN flag, so a new V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_HIDDEN flag
is added to enumerate hidden controls. Set both flags to enumerate any
controls (hidden or not).
Complex control types will start at V4L2_CTRL_COMPLEX_TYPES. In addition, any
control that uses the new 'p' field or the existing 'string' field will have
flag V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_IS_PTR set.
While not strictly necessary, adding that flag makes life for applications
a lot simpler. If the flag is not set, then the control value is set
through the value or value64 fields of struct v4l2_ext_control, otherwise
a pointer points to the value.
