I suggest: > > "The V4L2 driver that implements support for a hardware component." Look how we defined the term driver: Driver The part of the Linux Kernel that implements support for a hardware component. If we define sub-device driver as you're proposing, we're basically saying that: sub-device driver == Driver with is not true. I guess the proper definition would be, instead: V4L2 sub-device driver A driver for a media component whose bus(es) connects it to the hardware controlled via the V4L2 main driver. Thanks, Mauro
