The last set of drivers still using the parent field of video_device instead
of the v4l2_dev field have been converted, so v4l2_dev is now always set.
A proper pointer to v4l2_dev is necessary these days otherwise the advanced
debugging ioctls will not work when addressing sub-devices. It also ensures
that the core can always go from a video_device struct to the top-level
v4l2_device struct.
There is still one single use case for the parent pointer: if there are
multiple busses, each being the parent of one or more video nodes, and if
they all share the same v4l2_device struct. In that case one still needs a
parent pointer since the v4l2_device struct can only refer to a single
parent device. The cx88 driver is one such case. Unfortunately, the cx88
failed to set the parent pointer since 3.6. The next patch will correct this.
In order to support this use-case the parent pointer is only renamed to
dev_parent, not removed altogether. It has been renamed to ensure that the
compiler will catch any (possibly out-of-tree) drivers that were missed during
the conversion.

The use of current_norm to keep track of the current standard has been
deprecated for quite some time. Now that all drivers that were using it
have been converted to use g_std we can drop it from the core.
It was a bad idea to introduce this at the time: since it is a per-device
node field it didn't work for drivers that create multiple nodes, all sharing
the same tuner (e.g. video and vbi nodes, or a raw video node and a compressed
video node). In addition it was very surprising behavior that g_std was
implemented in the core. Often drivers implemented both g_std and current_norm,
because they didn't understand how it should be used.
Since the benefits were very limited (if they were there at all), it is better
to just drop it and require that drivers just implement g_std.

That commit message suggests that by not taking the core lock for fops

This used to be the default if the lock pointer was set, but now that lock is by
default only used for ioctl serialization. Those drivers that already used
core locking have this flag set explicitly, except for some drivers where
it was obvious that there was no need to serialize any file operations other
than ioctl.
The drivers that didn't need this flag were:
drivers/media/radio/dsbr100.c
drivers/media/radio/radio-isa.c
drivers/media/radio/radio-keene.c
drivers/media/radio/radio-miropcm20.c
drivers/media/radio/radio-mr800.c
drivers/media/radio/radio-tea5764.c
drivers/media/radio/radio-timb.c
drivers/media/video/vivi.c
sound/i2c/other/tea575x-tuner.c
The other drivers that use core locking and where it was not immediately
obvious that this flag wasn't needed were changed so that the flag is set
together with a comment that that driver needs work to avoid having to
set that flag. This will often involve taking the core lock in the fops
themselves.
Eventually this flag should go and it should not be used in new drivers.
There are a few reasons why we want to avoid core locking of non-ioctl
fops: in the case of mmap this can lead to a deadlock in rare situations
since when mmap is called the mmap_sem is held and it is possible for
other parts of the code to take that lock as well (copy_from_user()/copy_to_user()
perform a down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) when a page fault occurs).
It is very unlikely that that happens since the core lock serializes all
fops, but the kernel warns about it if lock validation is turned on.
For poll it is also undesirable to take the core lock as that can introduce
increased latency. The same is true for read/write.
While it was possible to make flags or something to turn on/off taking the
core lock for each file operation, in practice it is much simpler to just
not take it at all except for ioctl and leave it to the driver to take the
lock. There are only a handful fops compared to the zillion ioctls we have.
I also wanted to make it obvious which drivers still take the lock for all
fops, so that's why I chose to have drivers set it explicitly.

Rather than testing whether an ioctl is implemented in the driver or not
every time the ioctl is called, do it upfront when the device is registered.
This also allows a driver to disable certain ioctls based on the capabilities
of the detected board, something you can't do today without creating separate
v4l2_ioctl_ops structs for each new variation.
For the most part it is pretty straightforward, but for control ioctls a flag
is needed since it is possible that you have per-filehandle controls, and that
can't be determined upfront of course.

Using the V4L2 core lock is a very robust method that is usually very good
at doing the right thing. But some drivers, particularly USB drivers, may
want to prevent the core from taking the lock for specific ioctls, particularly
buffer queuing ioctls.
The reason is that certain commands like S_CTRL can take a long time to process
over USB and all the time the core has the lock, preventing VIDIOC_DQBUF from
proceeding, even though a frame may be ready in the queue.
This introduces unwanted latency.
Since the buffer queuing commands often have their own internal lock it is
often not necessary to take the core lock. Drivers can now say that they don't
want the core to take the lock for specific ioctls.
As it is a specific opt-out it makes it clear to the reviewer that those
ioctls will need more care when reviewing.

Remove the vtx (aka videotext aka teletext) API from the v4l2 core.
This API was scheduled for removal in kernel 2.6.35.
The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.
In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
are no applications actually implementing this API.
The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
around the sliced VBI API instead.

Add a new framework to handle controls which makes life for driver
developers much easier.
Note that this patch moves some of the control support that used to be in
v4l2-common.c to v4l2-ctrls.c. The tables were copied unchanged. The body
of v4l2_ctrl_query_fill() was copied to a new v4l2_ctrl_fill() function
in v4l2-ctrls.c. This new function doesn't use the v4l2_queryctrl
struct anymore, which makes it more general.
The remainder of v4l2-ctrls.c is all new. Highlights include:
- No need to implement VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, QUERYMENU, S_CTRL, G_CTRL,
S_EXT_CTRLS, G_EXT_CTRLS or TRY_EXT_CTRLS in either bridge drivers
or subdevs. New wrapper functions are provided that can just be plugged in.
Once everything has been converted these wrapper functions can be removed as well.
- When subdevices are added their controls can be automatically merged
with the bridge driver's controls.
- Most drivers just need to implement s_ctrl to set the controls.
The framework handles the locking and tries to be as 'atomic' as possible.
- Ready for the subdev device nodes: the same mechanism applies to subdevs
and their device nodes as well. Sub-device drivers can make controls
local, preventing them from being merged with bridge drivers.
- Takes care of backwards compatibility handling of VIDIOC_S_CTRL and
VIDIOC_G_CTRL. Handling of V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE is fully transparent.
CTRL_CLASS controls are automatically added.

The v4l core creates four different video devices (video, vbi, radio, vtx)
and each has its own range of minor numbers. However, modern devices keep
increasing the number of devices that they need so a maximum of 64 video
devices will not be enough in the future. In addition this scheme makes
it very hard to add new device types.
This patch disconnects the kernel number allocation (e.g. video0, video1,
etc.) from the actual minor number (just pick the first free minor).
This allows for much more flexibility in the future. However, it does
require the use of udev. For those who cannot use udev a new CONFIG option
was created that changes the allocation scheme back to the old behavior.
Thanks to Greg KH for suggesting this approach during the 2008 LPC.
In addition, several bugs were fixed in the ivtv and cx18 drivers: these
drivers try to allocate specific kernel numbers but that scheme contained
a bug which caused what should have been e.g. video17 to appear as e.g.

Remove the priv field and let video_get/set_drvdata use dev_get_drvdata
and dev_set_drvdata instead.
Convert all drivers that still used priv directly.

Add a second release function: video_device_release_empty
It can be used by drivers that have statically allocated
video_device structs.
Its use usually, but not always, indicates laziness on the
part of the driver programmer.
