So this looks good but ... it adds a warning to the build:
/stuff/k/git/kernel/Documentation/driver-api/media/v4l2-controls:823: ./include/media/v4l2-ctrls.h:964: WARNING: Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 6] const * v4l2_ctrl_get_menu (u32 id) ------^
So it looks like something isn't being parsed quite identically?
Thanks,
jon
