Documentation for enum v4l2_field did not make it clear that V4L2_FIELD_ANY is only acceptable as input to the kernel, not as a response from the driver. Make it clear, to stop userspace developers like me assuming it can be returned by the driver. Signed-off-by: Simon Farnsworth <simon.farnsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Change wording as suggested by Hans. The new wording still makes sense to me, and leaves it clear that V4L2_FIELD_ANY is not a valid answer from TRY_FMT.
