   The video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event must check the driver
   is able to produce events with specified event id. Then it calls
-  v4l2_event_subscribe() to subscribe the event. The last argument is the
-  size of the event queue for this event. If it is 0, then the framework
-  will fill in a default value (this depends on the event type).

-- v4l2_event_unsubscribe()
+  The elems argument is the size of the event queue for this event. If it is 0,

+
+  The ops argument allows the driver to specify a number of callbacks:
+  * add:     called when a new listener gets added (subscribing to the same
+             event twice will only cause this callback to get called once)
+  * del:     called when a listener stops listening
+  * replace: replace event 'old' with event 'new'.
+  * merge:   merge event 'old' into event 'new'.
+  All 4 callbacks are optional, if you don't want to specify any callbacks
+  the ops argument itself maybe NULL.
