Are there any plans on merging the patch? It looks very useful.

Now for my proposition of also exposing gstreamer capabilities of
multimedia devices, attached is a set of fdi files for some webcams
and tv tuners.

Does it make sense? Is it possible to merge this with hal-info? I
opted not to probe this info upon device discovery as many v4l v1
devices take a while to initialize and thus the detecting part could
easily take up to half a minute.

Waiting for comments.
