Ioctls executed on complex media devices need special handling.
For instance some ioctls need to be targeted for specific sub-devices,
depending on the media device configuration. The APIs being introduced
address such requirements.

I wonder if it'd make sense to always use v4l2_ext_control instead. You
can't access 64-bit integer controls with VIDIOC_S_CTRL for instance.
This function is meant to handle VIDIOC_S_CTRL/VIDIOC_G_CTRL ioctls.
For ext ctrls there is media_ioctl_ext_ctrl().
Is there any reason not to use extended control always?
In other words, do we have a driver that does support Media controller but
does not support extended controls?
Shouldn't we support non-extended controls for backward compatibility
reasons? I am not aware of the policy in this matter.
As this is a user space library, I'd probably add a function to handle
S/G/TRY control each.
There is media_ioctl_ext_ctrl() that handles VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS,
VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS and VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS.
Have you considered binding the control to a video node rather than a
media device? We have many sensors on current media devices already, and
e.g. exposure time control can be found in multiple sub-devices.
Doesn't v4l2-ctrl-redir config entry address that?
How does it work if you have, say, two video nodes where you can capture
images from a different sensor? I.e. your media graph could look like this:
sensor0 -> CSI-2 0 -> video0
sensor1 -> CSI-2 1 -> video1
Exemplary config settings for this case:
v4l2-ctrl-redir 0x0098091f -> "sensor0"
v4l2-ctrl-redir 0x0098091f -> "sensor1"
In media_ioctl_ctrl the v4l2_subdev_get_pipeline_entity_by_cid(media,
ctrl.id) is called which walks through the pipeline and checks if there
has been a v4l2 control redirection defined for given entity.
If no redirection is defined then the control is set on the first
entity in the pipeline that supports it. Effectively, for this
arrangement no redirection would be required if the control
is to be set on sensors. It would be required if we wanted
to bind the control to the videoN entity. Now I am wondering
if I should change the entry name to v4l2-ctrl-binding, or maybe
someone has better idea?
BTW, are there some unique identifiers added to the entity names if
more than one entity of a name is to be registered? E.g. what would
happen if I had two S5C73M3 sensors in a media device? I assumed that
entity names are unique.
