- v4l2_dev: set to the v4l2_device parent device.
- name: set to something descriptive and unique.
- fops: set to the file_operations struct.
- fops: set to the v4l2_file_operations struct.
- ioctl_ops: if you use the v4l2_ioctl_ops to simplify ioctl maintenance
(highly recommended to use this and it might become compulsory in the
future!), then set this to your v4l2_ioctl_ops struct.

If you use v4l2_ioctl_ops, then you should set .unlocked_ioctl to
__video_ioctl2 or .ioctl to video_ioctl2 in your file_operations struct.
If you use v4l2_ioctl_ops, then you should set either .unlocked_ioctl or
.ioctl to video_ioctl2 in your v4l2_file_operations struct.

The v4l2_file_operations struct is a subset of file_operations. The main
difference is that the inode argument is omitted since it is never used.
