Subject: [PATCH 01/14] [media] v4l2 core: return -ENOIOCTLCMD if an ioctl doesn't exist
Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 13:06:07 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110626130607.5931a2f8@pedra> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1309103285.git.mchehab@redhat.com>

Currently, -EINVAL is used to return either when an IOCTL is not
implemented, or if the ioctl was not implemented.

Note: Drivers that don't use video_ioctl2, will need extra patches.
