Mauro Carvalho Chehab ee281b856d V4L/DVB (8543): em28xx: Rename #define for Compro VideoMate ForYou/Stereo
There are two videomate boards supporded by em28xx. The names are almost
identical.
This patch renames one of such entries to something else.

Aidan Thornton 3b5fa928a6 V4L/DVB (7565): em28xx: fix buffer underrun handling
This patch fixes three related issues and a fourth trivial one:

- Use buffers even if no-one's currently waiting for them (fixes
  underrun issues);

- Don't return incomplete/mangled frames at the start of streaming and
  in the case of buffer underruns;

- Fix an issue which could cause the driver to write to a buffer that's
  been freed after videobuf_queue_cancel is called (exposed by the
  previous two fixes - for some reason, ignoring buffers that weren't
  being waited on worked around the issue);

- Fix a bug which could cause only one field to be filled in the first
  buffer (or first few buffers) after streaming is started.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab ad0ebb96c2 V4L/DVB (7540): em28xx: convert to use videobuf-vmalloc
The usage of videobuf-vmalloc allows to cleanup em28xx logic.

Also, it reduced its size by about 5.42% on i386 arch (and about 7.5% on x86_64):

  39113    4876      40   44029    abfd old/em28xx.ko
  36731    4868      40   41639    a2a7 /home/v4l/master/v4l/em28xx.ko

Also, the preliminary tests, made on a single core 1.5 MHz Centrino showed
that CPU usage reduced from 42%-75% to 28%-33% (reports from "top") command.

A test with time command presented an even better result:

This is the performance tests I did, running code_example to get 1,000 frames
@29.995 Hz (about 35 seconds of stream), tested on a i386 machine, running at
1,5GHz:

	The old driver:

$ time -f "%E: %Us User time, %Ss Kernel time, %P CPU used" ./capture_example
0:34.21: 8.22s User time, 25.16s Kernel time, 97% CPU used

	The videobuf-based driver:

$ time -f "%E: %Us User time, %Ss Kernel time, %P CPU used" ./capture_example
0:35.36: 0.01s User time, 0.05s Kernel time, 0% CPU used

	Conclusion:

The time consumption to receive the stream where reduced from about 33.38
seconds to 0.05 seconds.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 3687e1e67e V4L/DVB (7179): Allow more than one em28xx board
em28xx driver is capable of handling more than one usb device. However, isoc
transfers require a large amount of data to be transfered.

Before this patch, just one em28xx board were enough to allocate more than 50%
URBs:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=480 MxCh= 8
B:  Alloc=480/800 us (60%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  2
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1

So, only one board could use an USB host at the same time. After the patch, it
is possible to use more than one em28xx at the same time, on the same usb host,
if the image size is slower or equal to 345600, since those images will
require about 30% of the URBs:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=480 MxCh= 8
B:  Alloc=232/800 us (29%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  2
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1

So, in thesis, after the patch, it would be possible to use up to 3 boards by
each usb host, if the devices are generating small images.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab ed086314f4 V4L/DVB (7060): em28xx: remove has_tuner
has_tuner flag doesn't make much sense, since tuner_type=TUNER_ABSENT
means the same thing.

Having two ways to say that a tuner is not present is
not nice, since it may lead to bad setups. In fact, with the previous
code, if a device were using has_tuner=0, but the user forces a tuner,
with modprobe option tuner=type, the modprobe option won't work.

Also, tveeprom returns TUNER_ABSENT, when tuner is unknown or absent.
So, with the previous logic, in this case, the driver should set
has_tuner=0, or has_tuner=1 otherwise.

Instead of adding several additional tests and setups, better just to
remove .has_tuner.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 5add9a6f3c V4L/DVB (6659): Convert MTS to bitfield
Xc2028.3028 has two type of firmwares: audio-standard specific ones and
baseband MTS firmwares. MTS firmwares provide stereo decoding for 6 MHz
BTSC/EIAJ and for monoaural audio decoding on 8 MHz firmwares.

It seems that the option to use MTS or a standard-specific audio decoding
depends on the way xc2028/3028 is connected.

Instead of wasting 32 (or 64 bits) to signalize if the driver needs to use MTS
firmware, this patch converts it to a bitfield that can be shared with other
proprieties of xc2028/3028.

Sascha Sommer fad7b958e7 V4L/DVB (6545): em28xx: autodetect Cinergy 200 USB and VGear PocketTV
Adds autodetection support for the Cinergy200 USB and the VGear PocketTV.

Whenever a usb device with generic empia em2800 usb ids is detected the device
gets scanned for connected i2c devices. If the device list matches an em2800
device in the device list the model id gets changed accordingly.

Sascha Sommer 4362559d82 V4L/DVB (6539): em28xx: add support for vgear pockettv
attached patch adds support for the vgear pockettv.
It seems to require a write to another register for audio to work.
I checked my old cinergydrv and we did the same register write there. I
therefore enabled it for all em2800 based devices.

Sascha Sommer 5a80415bca V4L/DVB (6538): em28xx: fix locking to allow accesses from 2 different threads at the same time
The attached patch modifies the em28xx driver so that there can be ioctls from
multiple different threads.

This is necessary for capture apps like MPlayer that use different threads for
capturing and channel tuning.

Now the locking is only done for the ioctls that change properties of the
device or access the i2c bus.

It also removes some locks that look unnecessary:

In em28xx_init_dev:
  the videodevice is not registered yet so nothing can access the hardware
 meanwhile, the device struct is not assigned to the interface yet so no race
 with disconnect is possible

In em28xx_release_resources:
  it gets only called when dev->lock is already held
