+Event subscription
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-.. code-block:: none
+Subscribing to an event is via:
 
-	int v4l2_event_subscribe(struct v4l2_fh *fh,
-				 struct v4l2_event_subscription *sub, unsigned elems,
-				 const struct v4l2_subscribed_event_ops *ops)
+	:cpp:func:`v4l2_event_subscribe <v4l2_event_subscribe>`
+	(:c:type:`fh <v4l2_fh>`, :ref:`sub <v4l2-event-subscription>` ,
+	elems, :c:type:`ops <v4l2_subscribed_event_ops>`)
 
-  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 elems 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).
+This function is used to implement :c:type:`video_device`->

+with specified event id, and then should call
+:cpp:func:`v4l2_event_subscribe` to subscribe the event.
 
-  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.

+Check if there's a pending event
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Checking if there's a pending event is via:
+

+
+How events work
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Events are delivered to user space through the poll system call. The driver
-can use v4l2_fh->wait (a wait_queue_head_t) as the argument for poll_wait().
+can use :c:type:`v4l2_fh`->wait (a wait_queue_head_t) as the argument for
+``poll_wait()``.
 
 There are standard and private events. New standard events must use the
 smallest available event type. The drivers must allocate their events from
 their own class starting from class base. Class base is
-V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START + n * 1000 where n is the lowest available number.
+``V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START`` + n * 1000 where n is the lowest available number.
 The first event type in the class is reserved for future use, so the first
 available event type is 'class base + 1'.
 
 An example on how the V4L2 events may be used can be found in the OMAP
-3 ISP driver (drivers/media/platform/omap3isp).
+3 ISP driver (``drivers/media/platform/omap3isp``).
 
-A subdev can directly send an event to the v4l2_device notify function with
-V4L2_DEVICE_NOTIFY_EVENT. This allows the bridge to map the subdev that sends
-the event to the video node(s) associated with the subdev that need to be
-informed about such an event.
