[PATCH v5 1/5] libcamera: v4l2_device: add frame start event helpers

[Stanislaw Gruszka]

Add helper to check if frame start event are supported by subdevice.
Since kernel does not have interface to query supported events
use subscribe interface.

Additionally add helper for checking if the event enabled.
Will be needed later to proper code flow if enabling the event
fail for some reason.
