[PATCH] media: em28xx: fix inverted tuner capability check for VBI device

From: Christopher Snowhill

Date: Tue Sep 29 2026 - 22:02:36 EST


Commit 8e53399c63c3 ("media: em28xx: Add support for Empia em2828X
bridge") changed the condition for setting V4L2_CAP_TUNER on the VBI
device from "dev->tuner_type != TUNER_ABSENT" to a check of the video
device's capabilities, but inverted it: the VBI node now advertises a
tuner only when the video node does not have one.

On boards without a tuner (e.g. the MyGica iGrabber, card=105) the VBI
device's device_caps therefore contain V4L2_CAP_TUNER, while the shared
vidioc_querycap() correctly omits it from cap->capabilities. This trips
the sanity check in v4l_querycap() whenever the VBI node is queried,
for example by udev's v4l_id on every hotplug:

WARNING: drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:1119 at v4l_querycap+0xff/0x110 [videodev]
(cap->capabilities & (vfd->device_caps | V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS)) != (vfd->device_caps | V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS)

It also leaves the tuner ioctls enabled on the VBI node of tuner-less
boards and disables them on boards that do have a tuner.

Restore the intended logic so the VBI device has V4L2_CAP_TUNER exactly
when the video device does.
