Similar to what was done in DRM helpers, I would create a common structure,
maybe in a v4l2-stats library (or some better name). The driver would fill that
structure directly, or through helpers (such as software timer helper, cycle
count translation helper), and finally, this show_fd_info() would be a one
liners, just like DRM do.

This will ensure full consistency in the trace, and avoid possible future
unresolvable compatibility issue due to past mistakes. If we ever let a bug
through (of course we won't :-D) all driver will have the same bug, and it will
be easier to not break userspace.
