[PATCH v3 2/4] media: uvcvideo: Announce deprecation intentions for UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP
From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Mon Mar 16 2026 - 09:37:34 EST
The UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP lets userspace create a mapping for a custom
control.
This mapping is usually created by the uvcdynctrl userspace utility. We
would like to get the mappings into the driver instead.
