<title>media: field-order.rst: clarify FIELD_ANY and FIELD_NONE</title>

<id>823a633eeb7775171cbb9f423401316504745dc7</id>
<content type='text'>
Rephrased the FIELD_ANY description: rather than explicitly list
field values, just say 'when any field format is acceptable'. The
list of FIELD values was outdated, so it was a bit confusing.

The FIELD_NONE description said that 'The driver may also indicate
this order when it cannot distinguish between V4L2_FIELD_TOP and
V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM'. This is false, NONE really means a full frame
and userspace depends on that. So drop this line completely. There
are no drivers that do this anyway.

FIELD_TOP/BOTTOM/ALTERNATE indicate that the number of lines in the
buffer are that of a field, not frame, so returning NONE here would
cause huge problems.

Finally attempt to clarify 'progressive' and 'interlaced' a little
bit.

The V4L2 API is missing the 16-bit RGB555 formats for the RGBA, RGBX,
ABGR, XBGR, BGRA and BGRX component orders. Add them, using the same
4CCs as DRM.

The zoran driver has been marked deprecated for a year now
without any interest to update this driver to the vb2 framework.

Time to remove it altogether.

The timestamps in ir-keytable -t output showed that the Xbox DVD
IR dongle decodes scancodes every 64ms. The last scancode of a
longer button press is decodes 64ms after the last-but-one which
indicates the decoder doesn't use a timeout but decodes on the last
edge of the signal.

Add a protocol with the repeat value and set the timeout in the
driver to 10ms (to have a bit of headroom for delays) so the Xbox
DVD remote performs more responsive.

Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device.
This API solves a very common use-case for media devices where one physical
device (an USB stick) provides both audio and video. When such media device
exposes a standard USB Audio class, a proprietary Video class, two or more
independent drivers will share a single physical USB bridge. In such cases,
it is necessary to coordinate access to the shared resource.

Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct
device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other
drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all
the references are released.
