Hans de Goede 795e6eb326 [media] pwc: Remove software emulation of arbritary resolutions
The pwc driver claims to support any resolution between 160x120
and 640x480, but emulates this by simply drawing a black border
around the image. Userspace can draw its own black border if it
really wants one.

Hans de Goede dc8a7e83aa [media] pwc: Remove dead snapshot code
The in kernel version of the pwc driver has never supported snapshot
mode, and now that we no longer support the pixfmt.priv abuse there also
no longer is a way for userspace to request it, rendering all the code in
question dead (never called), so remove it.

Hans de Goede 885fe18f55 [media] pwc: Replace private buffer management code with videobuf2
Looking at the pwc buffer management code has made it clear to me it needed
some serious fixing. Not only was there a ton of code duplication even
internally to pwc (read and mmap wait for frame code was duplicated), the
code also was outright buggy. With the worst offender being dqbuf, which
just round robin returned all the mmap buffers, without paying any attention
to them being queued by the app with qbuf or not. And qbuf itself was a noop.

So I set out to fix this and already had some cleanups in place when
I read Jonathan Corbet's lwn article on videobuf2, this inspired me to just
rip out the buffer management code and replace it with videobuf2, greatly
reducing the amount of code, and fixing all bugs in one go:

Many thanks to Jonathan for the timely article on this !

Hans de Goede c246412117 [media] pwc: Remove a bunch of bogus sanity checks / don't return EFAULT wrongly
The chances if any of these becoming NULL magically are 0% And if they
do become NULL oopsing is the right thing to do (so that the user logs a
bug with the kernel rather then with whatever app he was using).

Returning EFAULT to userspace should only be done when userspace supplies
a bad address, not on driver bugs / hw issues, so in the few cases where the
check is not bogus return something else.

Hans Verkuil 479567ce3a V4L/DVB: pwc: fully convert driver to V4L2
Remove the V4L1 API from this driver, making it fully V4L2.

Also fix a bug where the /dev/videoX device was created too early, which led
to initialization problems of the camera, making it unable to capture video.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 9f6933be66 V4L/DVB (3599a): Move drivers/usb/media to drivers/media/video
Because of historic reasons, there are two separate directories with
V4L stuff. Most drivers are located at driver/media/video. However, some
code for USB Webcams were inserted under drivers/usb/media.

This makes difficult for module authors to know were things should be.
Also, makes Kconfig menu confusing for normal users.

This patch moves all V4L content under drivers/usb/media to
drivers/media/video, and fixes Kconfig/Makefile entries.
