-The v4l2_ctrl_new_std function returns the v4l2_ctrl pointer to the new

-The v4l2_ctrl_new_std function will fill in most fields based on the control
-ID except for the min, max, step and default values. These are passed in the
-last four arguments. These values are driver specific while control attributes
-like type, name, flags are all global. The control's current value will be set
-to the default value.
-
-The v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu function is very similar but it is used for menu
-controls. There is no min argument since that is always 0 for menu controls,
-and instead of a step there is a skip_mask argument: if bit X is 1, then menu
-item X is skipped.
-
-The v4l2_ctrl_new_int_menu function creates a new standard integer menu
-control with driver-specific items in the menu. It differs from
-v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu in that it doesn't have the mask argument and takes
-as the last argument an array of signed 64-bit integers that form an exact
-menu item list.
-
-The v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu_items function is very similar to
-v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu but takes an extra parameter qmenu, which is the driver
-specific menu for an otherwise standard menu control. A good example for this
-control is the test pattern control for capture/display/sensors devices that
-have the capability to generate test patterns. These test patterns are hardware
-specific, so the contents of the menu will vary from device to device.
