Setting sev->fh to NULL causes problems for the del op added in the next
patch of this series, since this op needs a way to get to its own data
structures, and typically this will be done by using container_of on an
embedded v4l2_fh struct.
The reason the original code is setting sev->fh to NULL is to signal
to users of the event framework that the unsubscription has happened,
but since their is no shared lock between the event framework and users
of it, this is inherently racy, and it also turns out to be unnecessary
as long as both the event framework and the user of the framework do their
own locking properly and the user guarantees that it holds no references
to the subcribed_event structure after its del operation has been called.
This is best explained by looking at the only code currently checking for
sev->fh being set to NULL on unsubscribe, which is the v4l2-ctrls.c send_event
function. Here is the relevant code from v4l2-ctrls: send_event():
if (sev->fh && (sev->fh != fh ||
(sev->flags & V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK)))
v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev);
Now lets say that v4l2_event_unsubscribe and v4l2-ctrls: send_event() race
on the same sev, then the following could happens:
1) send_event checks sev->fh, finds it is not NULL
<thread switch>
2) v4l2_event_unsubscribe sets sev->fh NULL
3) v4l2_event_unsubscribe calls v4l2_ctrls del_event function, this blocks
as the thread calling send_event holds the ctrl_lock
<thread switch>
4) send_event calls v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev) which not is equivalent
to calling: v4l2_event_queue_fh(NULL, &ev)
5) oops, NULL pointer deref.
Now again without setting sev->fh to NULL in v4l2_event_unsubscribe and
without the (now senseless since always true) sev->fh != NULL check in
1) send_event is about to call v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev)
<thread switch>
2) v4l2_event_unsubscribe removes sev->list from the fh->subscribed list
<thread switch>
3) send_event calls v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev)
4) v4l2_event_queue_fh blocks on the fh_lock spinlock
<thread switch>
5) v4l2_event_unsubscribe unlocks the fh_lock spinlock
6) v4l2_event_unsubscribe calls v4l2_ctrls del_event function, this blocks
as the thread calling send_event holds the ctrl_lock
<thread switch>
8) v4l2_event_queue_fh takes the fh_lock
7) v4l2_event_queue_fh calls v4l2_event_subscribed, does not find it since
sev->list has been removed from fh->subscribed already -> does nothing
9) v4l2_event_queue_fh releases the fh_lock
10) the caller of send_event releases the ctrl lock (mutex)
<thread switch>
11) v4l2_ctrls del_event takes the ctrl lock
12) v4l2_ctrls del_event removes sev->node from the ev_subs list
13) v4l2_ctrls del_event releases the ctrl lock
14) v4l2_event_unsubscribe frees the sev, to which no references are being
held anymore

V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY control allows applications to instruct
a driver what is the power line frequency so an appropriate filter
can be used by the device to cancel flicker by compensating the light
intensity ripple. Currently in the menu we have entries for 50 Hz and
60 Hz and for entirely disabling the anti-flicker filter.
However some devices are capable of automatically detecting the
frequency, so add V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY_AUTO entry for them.

The problem tackled in this patch is how to handle volatile autoclusters
correctly. A volatile autocluster is a cluster of related controls where one
control is the control that toggles between manual and auto mode and the other
controls are the values for the manual mode. For example autogain and gain,
autoexposure and exposure, etc.
If the hardware lets you read out the automatically calculated manual values
while in automode, then those manual controls should be marked volatile.
gain value as calculated by the autogain circuitry, then you would mark the
gain control as volatile (i.e. continuously changing).
The question in such use cases is what to do when switching from the auto
mode to the manual mode. Should we switch to the last set manual values or
should the volatile values be copied and used as the initial manual values.
For example: suppose the mode is manual gain and gain is set to 5. Then
autogain is turned on and the gain is set by the hardware to 2. Finally
the user switches back to manual gain. What should the gain be? 2 or 5?
After a long discussion the decisions was made to keep the last value as
calculated by the auto mode (so 2 in the example above).
The reason is that webcams that do such things will adapt themselves to
the current light conditions and when you switch back to manual mode you
expect that you keep the same picture. If you would switch back to old
manual values, then that would give you a suddenly different picture,
which is jarring for the user.
Additionally, this would be difficult to implement in applications that
store and restore the control values at application exit and start.
If you want to keep the old manual values when you switch from auto to
manual, then there would have to be a way for applications to get hold
of those old values while in auto mode, but there isn't.
So this patch will do all the heavy lifting in v4l2-ctrls.c: if you go
from auto mode to manual mode and the manual controls are volatile, then
g_volatile_ctrl will be called to get the current values for the manual
controls before switching to manual mode.

Normally no control events will go to the filehandle that called the
VIDIOC_S_CTRL/VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS ioctls. This is to prevent a feedback
loop.
This can now be overridden by setting the new V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK

The implementation of VIDIOC_G/S/TRY_EXT_CTRLS in the control framework has
to figure out which controls in the control list belong to the same cluster.
Since controls belonging to the same cluster need to be handled as a unit,
this is important information.
It did that by going over the controls in the list and for each control that
belonged to a multi-control cluster it would walk the remainder of the list
to try and find controls that belong to that same cluster.
This approach has two disadvantages:
1) it was a potentially quadratic algorithm (although highly unlikely that
it would ever be that bad in practice).
2) it took place with the control handler's lock held.
Since we want to make it possible in the future to change control values
from interrupt context, doing a lot of work while holding a lock is not a
good idea.
In the new code the algorithm is no longer quadratic but linear in the
number of controls in the list. Also, it now can be done beforehand.
Another change that was made was to so the try and set at the same time.
Before when S_TRY_EXT_CTRLS was called it would 'try' the controls first,
and then it would 'set' them. The idea was that any 'try' errors would
prevent the 'set' from happening, thus avoiding having partially set
control lists.
However, this caused more problems than it solved because between the 'try'
and the 'set' changes might have happened, so it had to try a second time,
and since actual controls with a try_ctrl op are very rare (and those that
we have just adjust values and do not return an error), I've decided to
drop that two-stage approach and just combine try and set.

just per-fh
The driver had to decide how many events to allocate when the v4l2_fh struct
was created. It was possible to add more events afterwards, but there was no
way to ensure that you wouldn't miss important events if the event queue
would fill up for that filehandle.
In addition, once there were no more free events, any new events were simply
dropped on the floor.
For the control event in particular this made life very difficult since
control status/value changes could just be missed if the number of allocated
events and the speed at which the application read events was too low to keep
up with the number of generated events. The application would have no idea
what the latest state was for a control since it could have missed the latest
control change.
So this patch makes some major changes in how events are allocated. Instead
of allocating events per-filehandle they are now allocated when subscribing an
event. So for that particular event type N events (determined by the driver)
are allocated. Those events are reserved for that particular event type.
This ensures that you will not miss events for a particular type altogether.
In addition, if there are N events in use and a new event is raised, then
the oldest event is dropped and the new one is added. So the latest event
is always available.
This can be further improved by adding the ability to merge the state of
two events together, ensuring that no data is lost at all. This will be
added in the next patch.
This also makes it possible to allow the user to determine the number of
events that will be allocated. This is not implemented at the moment, but
would be trivial.

v4l2_subscribed_event
The v4l2_ctrl_fh struct connected v4l2_ctrl with v4l2_fh so the control
would know which filehandles subscribed to it. However, it is much easier
to use struct v4l2_subscribed_event directly for that and get rid of that
intermediate struct.

Drivers that supported events used to be rare, but now that controls can also
raise events this will become much more common since almost all drivers have
controls.
This means that keeping struct v4l2_events as a separate struct make no more
sense. Merging it into struct v4l2_fh simplifies things substantially as it
is now an integral part of the filehandle struct.

scenarios
It is a bit tricky to handle autogain/gain type scenerios correctly. Such
controls need to be clustered and the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_UPDATE should be set on
the autofoo controls. In addition, the manual controls should be marked
inactive when the automatic mode is on, and active when the manual mode is on.
This also requires specialized volatile handling.
The chances of drivers doing all these things correctly are pretty remote.
So a new v4l2_ctrl_auto_cluster function was added that takes care of these
issues.

If you have a cluster of controls that is a mix of volatile and non-volatile
controls, then requesting the value of the volatile control would fail if the
master control of that cluster was non-volatile. The code assumed that the
volatile state of the master control was the same for all other controls in
the cluster.
This is now fixed.
In addition, it was clear from bugs in some drivers that it was confusing that
the ctrl->cur union had to be used in g_volatile_ctrl. Several drivers used the
'new' values instead. The framework was changed so that drivers now set the new
value instead of the current value.
This has an additional benefit as well: the volatile values are now only stored
in the 'new' value, leaving the current value alone. This is useful for
autofoo/foo control clusters where you want to have a 'foo' control act like a
volatile control if 'autofoo' is on, but as a normal control when it is off.
Since with this change the cur value is no longer overwritten when g_volatile_ctrl
is called, you can use it to remember the original 'foo' value. For example:
autofoo = 0, foo = 10 and foo is non-volatile.
Now autofoo is set to 1 and foo is marked volatile. Retrieving the foo value
will get the volatile value. Set autofoo back to 0, which marks foo as non-
volatile again, and retrieving foo will get the old current value of 10.

Add a new framework to handle controls which makes life for driver
developers much easier.
Note that this patch moves some of the control support that used to be in
v4l2-common.c to v4l2-ctrls.c. The tables were copied unchanged. The body
of v4l2_ctrl_query_fill() was copied to a new v4l2_ctrl_fill() function
in v4l2-ctrls.c. This new function doesn't use the v4l2_queryctrl
struct anymore, which makes it more general.
The remainder of v4l2-ctrls.c is all new. Highlights include:
- No need to implement VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, QUERYMENU, S_CTRL, G_CTRL,
S_EXT_CTRLS, G_EXT_CTRLS or TRY_EXT_CTRLS in either bridge drivers
or subdevs. New wrapper functions are provided that can just be plugged in.
Once everything has been converted these wrapper functions can be removed as well.
- When subdevices are added their controls can be automatically merged
with the bridge driver's controls.
- Most drivers just need to implement s_ctrl to set the controls.
The framework handles the locking and tries to be as 'atomic' as possible.
- Ready for the subdev device nodes: the same mechanism applies to subdevs
and their device nodes as well. Sub-device drivers can make controls
local, preventing them from being merged with bridge drivers.
- Takes care of backwards compatibility handling of VIDIOC_S_CTRL and
