An example on how the V4L2 events may be used can be found in the OMAP
3 ISP driver (drivers/media/platform/omap3isp).
+A subdev can directly send an event to the v4l2_device notify function with
+V4L2_DEVICE_NOTIFY_EVENT. This allows the bridge to map the subdev that sends
+the event to the video node(s) associated with the subdev that need to be
+informed about such an event.
