Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] media: uvcvideo: Announce deprecation intentions for UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 13:34:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316-uvcdynctrl-v3-2-19cd4657e1f3@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316-uvcdynctrl-v3-0-19cd4657e1f3@chromium.org>
The UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP lets userspace create a mapping for a custom
control.
This mapping is usually created by the uvcdynctrl userspace utility. We
would like to get the mappings into the driver instead.
