Oh, right. Actually the earlier unsubscription didn't always produce
correct results. I missed that. This is needlessly complicated at the
moment. So I'd do:

	case VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT:
		if (v4l2_subdev_has_op(sd, core, subscribe_event))
			return v4l2_subdev_call(sd, core, subscribe_event,
						vfh, arg);

		return (sd->flags & V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_EVENTS) &&
			vfh->ctrl_handler ?
			v4l2_ctrl_subdev_subscribe_event(sd, vfh, arg) :
			-ENOIOCTLCMD;

	case VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT:
		if (v4l2_subdev_has_op(sd, core, unsubscribe_event))
			return v4l2_subdev_call(sd, core, unsubscribe_event,
						vfh, arg);

		return sd->flags & V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_HAS_EVENTS ?
			v4l2_event_subdev_unsubscribe(sd, vfh, arg) :
			-ENOIOCTLCMD;
