- <para>All media devices must support the <constant>MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO</constant>
- ioctl. To query device information, applications call the ioctl with a
- pointer to a &media-device-info;. The driver fills the structure and returns
- the information to the application.
- The ioctl never fails.</para>

- <para>The <structfield>serial</structfield> and <structfield>bus_info</structfield>
- fields can be used to distinguish between multiple instances of otherwise
- identical hardware. The serial number takes precedence when provided and can
- be assumed to be unique. If the serial number is an empty string, the

- <structfield>bus_info</structfield> field is guaranteed to be unique, but
