I suspect that most of the things (if not all) here already commented
on the initial patches)

In this case, as already commented, I don't see any reason why
to deny VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL to get the hidden controls if V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HIDDEN
is used.

Charset? There are some units, like  ångström (Å) that are not ASCII.
Also, there are several units that use greek letters. So, I think we need
to specify a charset here. IMHO, the better is to use UTF-8.

As already commented, cols/rows are matrix specific. If the control type 
is not a matrix, those makes no sense.

This seems messy: use IS_PTR for string too. As already pointed, string
is a NUL-terminated sequence, while pointer is a size defined
element, sequence or matrix. Let's not mix this at the API. This is already
complex enough.
