The idea behind the flag is to support in the same entity controls
that are uvc_query_ctrl() based
and "entity private functions".

As this moment, there is only the " GPIO entity"  that has has private
functions, and does not require it.

So I can simply remove the flag and add it later (if needed).

Thanks
