You can also supply a notify() callback that can be called by sub-devices to

If the sub-device needs to notify its v4l2_device parent of an event, then

it can call v4l2_subdev_notify(sd, notification, arg). This macro checks

The advantage of using v4l2_subdev is that it is a generic struct and does
