OK.

Should WARN_ON() be only in unlocked versions of ctrl API? It probably
would make sense to add WARNs to both - e.g. to v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl() and
to __v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl(). By the way, why don't locked and unlocked
versions live together in v4l2-ctrls.c file? Any reason for, e.g.,
v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl() to be in header and __v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl() to be C-file?

OK.
