  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.
