Hi Sharavan,

I'm a bit confused here

Hblank is said to be read-only

	if (imx334->hblank_ctrl)
		imx334->hblank_ctrl->flags |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_READ_ONLY;

So you shouldn't need this safety measure here.

However I see that __v4l2_ctrl_modify_range() can call s_ctrl() if the
current value has to be adjusted to the new limits.

Hans, how does this work ? Do we need the above even if the control is
said to be RO ?

Sharavan: have you experienced failures here, or is this just for
safety ?
