Subject: [PATCH 2/3] media: videodev2: add a flag for vdev-centric devices
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2017 06:40:06 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8d504be517755ee9449a007b5f2de52738c2df63.1503653839.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1503653839.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1503653839.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

As both vdev-centric and mc-centric devices may implement the
same APIs, we need a flag to allow userspace to distinguish
between them.
