That ensures that it will only go to the subdev that needs it. +If the sub-device needs to notify its v4l2_device parent of an event, then +it can call v4l2_subdev_notify(sd, notification, arg). This macro checks +whether there is a notify() callback defined and returns -ENODEV if not. +Otherwise the result of the notify() call is returned. + The advantage of using v4l2_subdev is that it is a generic struct and does not contain any knowledge about the underlying hardware.
