  This patch adds a list of v4l2_fh structures to every video_device.
It allows using file handle related information in V4L2. The event interface
is one example of such use.

Video device drivers should use the v4l2_fh pointer as their
file->private_data.

Shouldn't you add one more header here?:

#include <media/v4l2-dev.h>

(for struct video_device)

Wrong comment, must have been:

	/* V4L2_FH_H */

That shows how long the V4L2 events API review is taking ;-)

This header only needs struct video_device *, not struct video_device, so 
adding a forward definition will be more efficient (lower compilation time for 
compilation units that include v4l2-fh.h but not v4l2-dev.h).

It is. The patches have been floating around since 2009 and I've just
forgotten to update this. I hope no-one will notify 2010 must be
replaced by 2011 at some point... ;-)

Seems that you missed to fix this patch comments on your v6 version...
