+ from a receiver or an output of a transmitter device. They can be
+ used with subdevice nodes (/dev/v4l-subdevX) or with video nodes (/dev/videoX).</para>
+
+ <para>When used with video nodes the <structfield>pad</structfield> field represents the
+ input (for video capture devices) or output (for video output devices) index as
+ is returned by &VIDIOC-ENUMINPUT; and &VIDIOC-ENUMOUTPUT; respectively. When used
+ with subdevice nodes the <structfield>pad</structfield> field represents the
+ input or output pad of the subdevice. If there is no EDID support for the given
+ <structfield>pad</structfield> value, then the &EINVAL; will be returned.</para>

will be placed in the memory <structfield>edid</structfield> points to. The <structfield>edid</structfield>
pointer must point to memory at least <structfield>blocks</structfield> * 128 bytes
data in some way. In any case, the end result is the same: the EDID is no longer available.
