Re: [PATCH v2 1/5] media/v4l2-ctrls: volatiles should not generate CH_VALUE

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch, and sorry for the late review (so late that the patch
has already been merged).

What's the rationale for that ? I would actually expect the value change
events to be more useful for volatile controls than non-volatile controls.
Volatile controls can have their value changed by the hardware without
software intervention, and it makes sense to me to report that to userspace.
