+		the filehandle that called that ioctl. For example, changing a control using
+		&VIDIOC-S-CTRL; will cause a V4L2_EVENT_CTRL to be sent back to that same
+		filehandle. Normally such events are suppressed to prevent feedback loops
+		where an application changes a control to a one value and then another, and
+		then receives an event telling it that that control has changed to the first
+		value.</para>
+
+		<para>Since it can't tell whether that event was caused by another application
+		or by the &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; call it is hard to decide whether to set the
+		control to the value in the event, or ignore it.</para>
+
+		<para>Think carefully when you set this flag so you won't get into situations
+		like that.</para>
