[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 4/5] v4l2-subdev: add VIDIOC_SUBDEV_QUERYCAP ioctl

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil at cisco.com>

While normal video/radio/vbi/swradio nodes have a proper QUERYCAP ioctl
that apps can call to determine that it is indeed a V4L2 device, there
is currently no equivalent for v4l-subdev nodes. Adding this ioctl will
solve that, and it will allow utilities like v4l2-compliance to be used
with these devices as well.

SUBDEV_QUERYCAP currently returns the version and subdev_caps of the
subdevice. Define as the initial set of subdev_caps the read-only or
read/write flags, to signal to userspace which set of IOCTLs are
available on the subdevice.
