Changes for v4:
1: Rather then adding a function to modify the menu, added a helper
function, that creates a new standard control with user specific
menu.

Changes for v3:
1: Fixed style/grammer issues as pointed by Hans.
Thanks Hans for providing the description.

Changes for v2:
1: Fixed review comments from Hans, to have return type as
void, add WARN_ON() for fail conditions, allow this fucntion
to modify the menu of custom controls.

+The v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu_items funtion is very similar as
+v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu but takes a extra parameter qmenu_user, which is
+driver specific menu but yet a standard menu control.
+A good example for this control is the test pattern control for
+capture/display/sensors devices that have the capability to generate test
+patterns. These test patterns are hardware specific, so the contents of the
+menu will vary from device to device.

Note that if something fails, the function will return NULL or an error and
set ctrl_handler->error to the error code. If ctrl_handler->error was already
set, then it will just return and do nothing. This is also true for
