+        The events ioctls are identical to the ones defined in V4L2. They
+        behave identically, with the only exception that they deal only with
+        events generated by the sub-device. Depending on the driver, those
+        events can also be reported by one (or several) V4L2 device nodes.
+
+        Sub-device drivers that want to use events need to set the
+        V4L2_SUBDEV_USES_EVENTS v4l2_subdev::flags and initialize
+        v4l2_subdev::nevents to events queue depth before registering the
+        sub-device. After registration events can be queued as usual on the
+        v4l2_subdev::devnode device node.
+
+        To properly support events, the poll() file operation is also
+        implemented.
