Implement getControls() and setControls() operations in V4L2Device class.

Both operations take a V4L2Controls instance and read or write the V4L2
controls on the V4L2 device.

There was no need to drop the \return block :-)

This can be const.

I would move the test at the beginning of the loop, so that in the
unlikely case where count == 0 the function will not loop forever. You
could write

		struct v4l2_ext_control *v4l2Ctrl = &v4l2Ctrls[i];
		const V4L2ControlInfo *info = controlInfo[i];

		if (i++ == count)
			break;

		...

With these small issues addressed,

Better safe than sorry, I'll move it up
