ttribute that when combined with udev rules
can create static device paths like this:

/dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000\:00\:1d.2-usb-0\:1\:1.0-video0
/dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000\:00\:1d.2-usb-0\:1\:1.0-video1
/dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000\:00\:1d.2-usb-0\:1\:1.0-video2

$ ls -la /dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000\:00\:1d.2-usb-0\:1\:1.0-video0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-04-28 00:02 /dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.2-usb-0:1:1.0-video0 -> ../../video1

These paths are steady across reboots and should be resistant to rearranging
across Kernel versions.

video_register_device_index is available to drivers to request a
specific index number.
