 the lighting conditions which can change over time. Note that setting a new value for

 Note that you use the 'new value' union as well in g_volatile_ctrl. In general
-controls that need to implement g_volatile_ctrl are read-only controls.
+controls that need to implement g_volatile_ctrl are read-only controls. If they

 To mark a control as volatile you have to set V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE:
