Masanari Iida 062683901a [media] DocBook media: Fix typo "the the" in xml files
This patch fix spelling typo "the the" found in controls.xml
and vidioc-g-param.xml.
These xml files are'nt generated from any source files, so I have
to fix these xml files directly.

Sakari Ailus 6016af82ea [media] v4l2: use __u32 rather than enums in ioctl() structs
V4L2 uses the enum type in IOCTL arguments in IOCTLs that were defined until
the use of enum was considered less than ideal. Recently Rémi Denis-Courmont
brought up the issue by proposing a patch to convert the enums to unsigned:

<URL:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg46167.html>

This sparked a long discussion where another solution to the issue was
proposed: two sets of IOCTL structures, one with __u32 and the other with
enums, and conversion code between the two:

<URL:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg47168.html>

Both approaches implement a complete solution that resolves the problem. The
first one is simple but requires assuming enums and __u32 are the same in
size (so we won't break the ABI) while the second one is more complex and
less clean but does not require making that assumption.

The issue boils down to whether enums are fundamentally different from __u32
or not, and can the former be substituted by the latter. During the
discussion it was concluded that the __u32 has the same size as enums on all
archs Linux is supported: it has not been shown that replacing those enums
in IOCTL arguments would break neither source or binary compatibility. If no
such reason is found, just replacing the enums with __u32s is the way to go.

This is what this patch does. This patch is slightly different from Remi's
first RFC (link above): it uses __u32 instead of unsigned and also changes
the arguments of VIDIOC_G_PRIORITY and VIDIOC_S_PRIORITY.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 43c1daa47d [media] DocBook: Use the generic ioctl error codes for all V4L ioctl's
Be sure that all VIDIOC_* ioctl are using the return error macro, and
aren't specifying generic error codes internally.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 4266129964 [media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap
<rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c:

- In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it
  should be listed in alphabetical order, not first.

- The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/

- The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to
  media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html

- Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that.

- Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of
  merging into this one?

Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook
to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory.

Thanks-to: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>
