Hans,

I have no objection to holding off if that's what you recommend.  The
only reason we got onto this thread was because the v4l2-dbg
application seems to implicitly assume that *all* private controls
using V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE can only be accessed via the extended
control interface, meaning you cannot use the utility in conjunction
with a driver that has a private control defined in the the
VIDIOC_G_CTRL function.
