Please note that this is an addition to the uAPI, so this also implies that
there should be patches for v4l-utils (v4l2-ctl and v4l2-compliance) and
ideally patches for one or more of the media test-drivers to implement this
flag. Together with v4l2-compliance that will ensure that the new flag is
actually tested by the regression tests.
