Well, a struct v4l2_ctrl_config is typically a static const, so you can't use
v4l2_ctrl_ptr_create().

Hmm, perhaps it is as easy as:

static const struct v4l2_area def_area = {
	...
};

static const struct v4l2_ctrl_config ctrl = {
	...

	.p_def.p_area = &def_area,
	...
};

Can you do a quick compile check that I am not overlooking anything?

If this works, then I'll take this patch.

Regards,

	Hans
