I think this check could go in the v4l2 core too.  It already does a
similar check for QUERYBUF, QBUF, DQBUF, etc.  If the driver doesn't
provide a method for ->vidioc_try_fmt_foo() then the v4l2 core will reject
a call with .type == V4L2_BUF_TYPE_foo.

It seems like it should be ok to do this for S_PARM and G_PARM too.
