+You can also supply a notify() callback that can be called by sub-devices to

+If the sub-device needs to notify its v4l2_device parent of an event, then

 The advantage of using v4l2_subdev is that it is a generic struct and does
 not contain any knowledge about the underlying hardware. So a driver might
 contain several subdevs that use an I2C bus, but also a subdev that is
