+The v4l2_ctrl_new_int_menu function creates a new standard integer menu
+control with driver-specific items in the menu. It differs from
+v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu in that it doesn't have the mask argument and takes

Note that if something fails, the function will return NULL or an error and
set ctrl_handler->error to the error code. If ctrl_handler->error was already
set, then it will just return and do nothing. This is also true for
