I think it may be a bit late now, given the number of patches in the media stage tree, but if Hans (or Mauro) is willing to pick an additional PR now, I'll send one.

Add new ioctls to set and get subdev client capabilities. Client in this context means the userspace application which opens the subdev device node. The client capabilities are stored in the file handle of the opened subdev device node, and the client must set the capabilities for each opened subdev. For now we only add a single flag, V4L2_SUBDEV_CLIENT_CAP_STREAMS, which indicates that the client is streams-aware. The reason for needing such a flag is as follows: Many structs passed via ioctls, e.g. struct v4l2_subdev_format, contain reserved fields (usually a single array field). These reserved fields can be used to extend the ioctl. The userspace is required to zero the reserved fields. We recently added a new 'stream' field to many of these structs, and the space for the field was taken from these reserved arrays. The assumption was that these new 'stream' fields are always initialized to zero if the userspace does not use them. This was a mistake, as, as mentioned above, the userspace is required to zero the _reserved_ fields. In other words, there is no requirement to zero this new stream field, and if the userspace doesn't use the field (which is the case for all userspace applications at the moment), the field may contain random data. This shows that the way the reserved fields are defined in v4l2 is, in my opinion, somewhat broken, but there is nothing to do about that. To fix this issue we need a way for the userspace to tell the kernel that the userspace has indeed set the 'stream' field, and it's fine for the kernel to access it. This is achieved with the new ioctl, which the userspace should usually use right after opening the subdev device node.
