The "Menu Controls" section in this file would be a better place to add this.

The minimum is always 0 for menu controls, so this argument should be
removed. It's not part of v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu either.

There is no need to return the pointer here, so just set the return to void.

Change this to:

	if (WARN_ON(ctrl->type != V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU || qmenu == NULL))
		return;

This test can be removed. Why should we prohibit calling this function for
non-standard controls?

Also replace with if (WARN_ON(def < 0 || def > max)).

All these errors are driver errors and so should just report it in the kernel
log and then bail out.

No need to set minimum. It's already 0.

Any how how if its custom control, the menu will be provided by user
itself, so why would he fell the necessity of this function ? But
providing an option wont harm I'll remove it.
