[media] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup must set is_new to 1
Renamed has_new to is_new.
Drivers can use the is_new field to determine if a new value was specified
for a control. The v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup() must always set this to 1 since
the setup has to force a full update of all controls.

The 'new value' union is not used in g_volatile_ctrl. In general controls
that need to implement g_volatile_ctrl are read-only controls.
+Note that if one or more controls in a control cluster are marked as volatile,
+then all the controls in the cluster are seen as volatile.
+
To mark a control as volatile you have to set the is_volatile flag:
ctrl = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(&sd->ctrl_handler, ...);

Obviously, all controls in the cluster array must be initialized to either
a valid control or to NULL.
+In rare cases you might want to know which controls of a cluster actually
+were set explicitly by the user. For this you can check the 'is_new' flag of
+each control. For example, in the case of a volume/mute cluster the 'is_new'
+flag of the mute control would be set if the user called VIDIOC_S_CTRL for
+mute only. If the user would call VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS for both mute and volume
+controls, then the 'is_new' flag would be 1 for both controls.
+
+The 'is_new' flag is always 1 when called from v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup().
