- name: set to something descriptive and unique.

|

- vfl_dir: set this to VFL_DIR_RX for capture devices (VFL_DIR_RX has value 0,
|

so this is normally already the default), set to VFL_DIR_TX for output

devices and VFL_DIR_M2M for mem2mem (codec) devices.

- fops: set to the v4l2_file_operations struct.

- ioctl_ops: if you use the v4l2_ioctl_ops to simplify ioctl maintenance

vfl_dir fields are used to disable ops that do not match the type/dir

combination. E.g. VBI ops are disabled for non-VBI nodes, and output ops
|

are disabled for a capture device. This makes it possible to provide

just one v4l2_ioctl_ops struct for both vbi and video nodes.

- lock: leave to NULL if you want to do all the locking in the driver.

Otherwise you give it a pointer to a struct mutex_lock and before the
