Sorry, it should have been caught by review :/

While at it, could you drop "compound controls" from documentation, as
they're now supported ?

I did the the same for the v4l2 device but forgot camera sensor...

or to match our canonical style:
", or an empty list on error"

Isn't this a repetition of the above statement ?

Ah, this was nasty to debug I assume...

Can we initialize an array with {} and save memset ? I know this was
there already, so it's fine if you want to keep it

Anyway, minors apart this looks good!

Side note: we now have a getControls() which works on ids and a
setControls() which work on lists. Would that make sense to provide
a setControls(id, T value) ? Would this be abused by lazy implementers
which instead of grouping controls in a list would call multiple times
this new function ? Just wondering and not on this patch anyway...

Thanks
