No, a capture video node can have multiple inputs (those are enumerated with
VIDIOC_ENUMINPUTS), and each input can generate a SOURCE_CHANGE event, even if it
is not the currently active input. Hence the need of setting id to the input
index. v4l2_buf_type makes no sense here.

Correct. Note that the replace and merge functions and v4l2_event_src_ch_ops can
all be static, only v4l2_src_change_event_subscribe should be exported.

No, this is correct.
I do think that CH_FORMAT is too vague. 'format' is such a general concept and
I would prefer something that is more specific as to what has changed. Do you
actually need that at the moment?
