Can the dimension be changed by the application only, or by the driver too ? In the latter case, is an event generated ? Considering this in the context of this series, the driver needs to change the dimension, as the use case is to size the control based on the image size. Do we want to document here that the driver will reset the control to a default value when the dimension changes, or is that something that should be control-specific ? > > Return Value > ============ > diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h b/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h > index 3768a0a80830..8df13defde75 100644 > --- a/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h > +++ b/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h > @@ -1886,6 +1886,7 @@ struct v4l2_querymenu { > #define V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HAS_PAYLOAD 0x0100 > #define V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_EXECUTE_ON_WRITE 0x0200 > #define V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_MODIFY_LAYOUT 0x0400 > +#define V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DYNAMIC_ARRAY 0x0800 > > /* Query flags, to be ORed with the control ID */ > #define V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL 0x80000000

Considering the semantic of the array control, indeed, this is 2 dimensional array control. Nevertheless, the driver does not need to access individual array items, as the hardware is the only consumer. Hence, the driver rather considers the array control as a binary blob with varying size. From this perspective, the dynamic array control was a good candidate. > The size is fixed for each resolution, but if the resolution changes, then > this control changes size as well, and it makes sense that when that happens > it is also reset to default values. > > So this isn't a dynamic array at all.

I am ok with that. Thanks !
