I see bold being used mostly for C symbols names, I don't know if that's a kind of convention or not. I would not mind a subsection to be honest... I think the patch is good and I'll provide a tag, maybe others can provide opinions too!

I'd say it's a matter of taste, so I'll keep the patch as is unless there are more votes for changing it. > Reviewed-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo@jmondi.org> Thanks,

The subdev registration topic is pretty lengthy, and takes more than half of the "V4L2 sub-devices" section. Help readers in finding their way through the document by dedicating a subsection to "Subdev registration". Each of the two registration methods takes many paragraphs, but since adding a subsubsection would be overkill, just emphasize them in bold.
