The BKL replacement mutex had some serious performance side-effects on
V4L drivers. It is replaced by a better heuristic that works around the
worst of the side-effects.
Read the v4l2-dev.c comments for the whole sorry story. This is a
temporary measure only until we can convert all v4l drivers to use
unlocked_ioctl.

All of the hard problems for BKL removal appear to be solved in the
v4l-dvb/master tree. This removes the BKL from the various open
functions that do not need it, or only use it to protect an
open count.
The zoran driver is nontrivial in this regard, so I introduce
a new mutex that locks both the open/release and the ioctl
functions. Someone with access to the hardware can probably
improve that by using the existing lock in all cases.
Finally, all drivers that still use the locked version of the
ioctl function now get called under a new mutex instead of
the BKL.

Drivers can optionally set a pointer to a mutex in struct video_device.
The core will use that to lock before calling open, read, write, unlocked_ioctl,
poll, mmap or release.
Updated the documentation as well and ensure that v4l2-event knows about the
lock: it will unlock it before doing a blocking wait on an event and relock it
afterwards.
Ensure that the 'video_is_registered' check is done when the lock is held:
a typical disconnect will take the lock as well before unregistering the
device nodes, so to prevent race conditions the video_is_registered check
should also be done with the lock held.

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The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes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.

Since commit b402843787
the 'driver_data' field resides in device's struct device_private
which may be allocated by dev_set_drvdata() if device_private
struct was not allocated previously.
dev_set_drvdata() is used in video_set_drvdata() to set
the driver's private data pointer in v4l2 drivers. Setting
the private data _before_ registering the v4l2 device results
in a memory leak since __video_register_device() also calls
video_set_drvdata(), but after zeroing the device structure.
Thus, the reference to the previously allocated device_private
struct goes lost and a new device_private will be allocated.
All v4l drivers which call video_set_drvdata() _before_
calling video_register_device() are affected. The patch fixes
__video_register_device() to preserve previously allocated
device_private reference.
Caught by kmemleak.

Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device
node's parent. But if it was not set, then use the parent field in the
video_device struct.
This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but
creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video).
So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device,
but you can do that for each video_device.

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

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.
video2.
