Subject[PATCH v2 00/10] Support getting default values from any control
Date
Integer controls provide a way to get their default/initial value, but
any other control (p_u32, p_u8.....) provide no other way to get the
initial value than unloading the module and loading it back.

*What is the actual problem?
I have a custom control with WIDTH integer values. Every value
represents the calibrated FPN (fixed pattern noise) correction value for that
column
-Application A changes the FPN correction value
-Application B wants to restore the calibrated value but it cant :(

*What is the proposed solution?

(Kudos to Hans Verkuil!!!)

The key change is in struct v4l2_ext_controls where the __u32 ctrl_class field
is changed to:

union {
__u32 ctrl_class;
__u32 which;
};

And two new defines are added:

#define V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_CUR_VAL 0
#define V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_DEF_VAL 0x0f000000

The 'which' field tells you which controls are get/set/tried.

V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_CUR_VAL: the current value of the controls
V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_DEF_VAL: the default value of the controls
V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_*: the current value of the controls belonging to the specified class.
Note: this is deprecated usage and is only there for backwards compatibility.
Which is also why I don't think there is a need to add V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_
aliases for these defines.
