Hi Hans,

Thanks for the patch!

This is called capabilities in struct v4l2_capability. I'd follow the same
pattern.

What's the use case for the entity_id field btw.? Supposing that the user
wouldn't be using the MC interface to obtain it, is the entity_id relevant
in this context? Or is your intent first open the sub-device, and then find
out more information on the entity?

> +	__u32 reserved[48];

Why 48?

As memory is typically allocated in powers of two (or n^2 + (n-1)^2), how
about aligning it accordingly? I don't think we lose anything by making this
e.g. 60. Although 28 would probably suffice as well (or 29 with the pads
field removed as discussed). Even that much sounds like a lot.
