The control handler has the request object. If the control handler is
part of a request, then the values of the controls that are owned by that
control handler are stored in p_req. When the request has been completed
p_req will contain the value at completion time.

I'll improve the documentation.

OK.

Could you please better elaborate the description of this field?

I read this patch dozen times to understand what you meant by
"request value", as I would be expecting here a "media_request_"
object or something similar. Instead, what you meant to say is that
@p_req will be used to cache the data passed via a request API call,
while the request is not handled yet, right?

I would document that there is kref is inside @req_obj, as we can't
add another kref here later.
