[media] doc-rst: convert udev chapter to rst
This chapter is outdated. I almost removed, but, as we're lacking documentation about how to make DVB devices persistent, I opted, instead, to keep it, and add a note about that. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

UDEV rules for DVB

#) **TODO:** change this document to explain how to make DVB devices

persistent, as, when a machine has multiple devices, they may be detected

on different orders, which could cause apps that relies on the device

numbers to fail.

The DVB subsystem currently registers to the sysfs subsystem using the
|

"class_simple" interface.
|

|

This means that only the basic information like module loading parameters
|
||||
are presented through sysfs. Other things that might be interesting are

Nevertheless it's now possible to add proper udev rules so that the

DVB device nodes are created automatically.

have a look at "man udev".
