    [media] V4L2: Add per-device-node capabilities · 583aa3a9
    Hans Verkuil authored
    If V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS is set, then the new device_caps field is filled with
    the capabilities of the opened device node.
    
    The capabilities field traditionally contains the capabilities of the physical
    device, being a superset of all capabilities available at the several device
    nodes. E.g., if you open /dev/video0, then if it contains VBI caps then that means
    that there is a corresponding vbi node as well. And the capabilities field of
    both the video and vbi nodes should contain identical caps.
    
    However, it would be very useful to also have a capabilities field that contains
    just the caps for the currently open device, hence the new CAP bit and field.
