33  * Overview:
34  *
35  * Events are subscribed per-filehandle. An event specification consists of a
36  * type and is optionally associated with an object identified through the
37  * 'id' field. So an event is uniquely identified by the (type, id) tuple.
38  *
39  * The v4l2-fh struct has a list of subscribed events. The v4l2_subscribed_event
40  * struct is added to that list, one for every subscribed event.
41  *
42  * Each v4l2_subscribed_event struct ends with an array of v4l2_kevent structs.
43  * This array (ringbuffer, really) is used to store any events raised by the
44  * driver. The v4l2_kevent struct links into the 'available' list of the
45  * v4l2_fh struct so VIDIOC_DQEVENT will know which event to dequeue first.
46  *
47  * Finally, if the event subscription is associated with a particular object
48  * such as a V4L2 control, then that object needs to know about that as well
49  * so that an event can be raised by that object. So the 'node' field can
50  * be used to link the v4l2_subscribed_event struct into a list of that
51  * object.
52  *
53  * So to summarize:
54  *
55  * struct v4l2_fh has two lists: one of the subscribed events, and one of the
56  * pending events.
57  *
58  * struct v4l2_subscribed_event has a ringbuffer of raised (pending) events of
59  * that particular type.
60  *
61  * If struct v4l2_subscribed_event is associated with a specific object, then
62  * that object will have an internal list of struct v4l2_subscribed_event so
63  * it knows who subscribed an event to that object.
