The subdev registration topic is pretty lengthy, and takes more than
half of the "V4L2 sub-devices" section. Help readers in finding their
way through the document by dedicating a subsection to
"Subdev registration".
Each of the two registration methods takes many paragraphs, but since
adding a subsubsection would be overkill, just emphasize them in bold.

PVRUSB2 VIDEO4LINUX DRIVER: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Fix up inconsistent usage of upper and lowercase letters in "Samsung"
and "Exynos" names.
"SAMSUNG" and "EXYNOS" are not abbreviations but regular trademarked
names. Therefore they should be written with lowercase letters starting
with capital letter.
The lowercase "Exynos" name is promoted by its manufacturer Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd., in advertisement materials and on website.
Although advertisement materials usually use uppercase "SAMSUNG", the
lowercase version is used in all legal aspects (e.g. on Wikipedia and in
privacy/legal statements on
https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/privacy-global/).

The vivi.c driver has long gone, but v4l2-videobuf.rst still
refers to it. Just drop that reference since it is no longer valid
or relevant (videobuf is deprecated).
The QUERYCAP documentation also made a reference to is, but there
vivi could just be replaced by vivid, the vivi successor.

Those documents don't really describe the driver API.
