Thanks for the review!

This was indeed hastily written, to help debugging a particular issue. But
I hope it'll be useful for other purposes, too. V4L2 async is about to get
more complicated soon.

Yes.

How about just "async: " for all of these? It's shorther, still unique, and
these lines will be long.

I'll add a helper function to get the device safely.
