Merge tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and
userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon);
- The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select
drivers and their dependencies;
- The testing drivers now has a separate directory;
- added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP;
- The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with
4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell
phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and
making it in good shape.
- Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs;
- Added an ov2740 image sensor driver;
- The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
standards;
- Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
is located at the device;
- VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;
- Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

To change the +value of a control applications initialize the ``id`` and ``value`` +fields of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` and call the +:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` ioctl. + +When the ``id`` is invalid drivers return an ``EINVAL`` error code. When the +``value`` is out of bounds drivers can choose to take the closest valid +value or return an ``ERANGE`` error code, whatever seems more appropriate. +However, :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the +actual new value. If the ``value`` is inappropriate for the control +(e.g. if it refers to an unsupported menu index of a menu control), then +EINVAL error code is returned as well. + +These ioctls work only with user controls. For other control classes the +:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`, +:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` or +:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` must be used. + + +.. c:type:: v4l2_control + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_control + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``id`` + - Identifies the control, set by the application. + * - __s32 + - ``value`` + - New value or current value. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately.
