Subject: [PATCH] V4L: Int if: Dummy slave

This patch implements a dummy slave that has no functionality. Helps
managing slaves in the OMAP 3 camera driver; no need to check for NULL
pointers.

Why are you using here a magic number?

Not really a reason. It could be or actually perhaps anything equal to
or bigger than sizeof(struct v4l2_int_ioctl_desc) so that last doesn't
underflow:

         const struct v4l2_int_ioctl_desc *first = slave->ioctls;
         const struct v4l2_int_ioctl_desc *last =
                 first + slave->num_ioctls - 1;

num_ioctls is zero. See find_ioctl in drivers/media/video/v4l2-int-device.c.

I guess that should be changed to sizeof(struct v4l2_int_ioctl_desc).
