You explain what you are doing, but I am missing an explanation of *why*
this is needed.

This part of the patch adds event support to the capture device, can't this be
split up into a separate patch? It seems to be useful in its own right.

Which events do you want to forward? E.g. forwarding control events
doesn't seem right, but other events may be useful. Are those events
also appearing on the v4l-subdevX device? And if so, should they?
