64 * is also set when called from v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup. Drivers
65 * should never set this flag.
66 * @is_private: If set, then this control is private to its handler and it
67 * will not be added to any other handlers. Drivers can set
69 * @is_auto: If set, then this control selects whether the other cluster
70 * members are in 'automatic' mode or 'manual' mode. This is
71 * used for autogain/gain type clusters. Drivers should never
72 * set this flag directly.
73 * @has_volatiles: If set, then one or more members of the cluster are volatile.
74 * Drivers should never touch this flag.
75 * @manual_mode_value: If the is_auto flag is set, then this is the value
76 * of the auto control that determines if that control is in
77 * manual mode. So if the value of the auto control equals this
78 * value, then the whole cluster is in manual mode. Drivers should

88 * @menu_skip_mask: The control's skip mask for menu controls. This makes it
89 * easy to skip menu items that are not valid. If bit X is set,
90 * then menu item X is skipped. Of course, this only works for
91 * menus with <= 32 menu items. There are no menus that come
92 * close to that number, so this is OK. Should we ever need more,
93 * then this will have to be extended to a u64 or a bit array.

95 * empty strings ("") correspond to non-existing menu items (this
96 * is in addition to the menu_skip_mask above). The last entry
98 * @flags: The control's flags.

100 * @val: The control's new s32 value.
101 * @val64: The control's new s64 value.
102 * @string: The control's new string value.
