+ - Changing this control value may modify the layout of the
+ buffer (for video devices) or the media bus format (for sub-devices).
+
+ A typical example would be the ``V4L2_CID_ROTATE`` control.
+
+ Note that typically controls with this flag will also set the
+ ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_GRABBED`` flag when buffers are allocated or
+ streaming is in progress since most drivers do not support changing
+ the format in that case.
