Merge tag 'media/v4.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- new framework support for HDMI CEC and remote control support
- new encoding codec driver for Mediatek SoC
- new frontend driver: helene tuner
- added support for NetUp almost universal devices, with supports
DVB-C/S/S2/T/T2 and ISDB-T
- the mn88472 frontend driver got promoted from staging
- a new driver for RCar video input
- some soc_camera legacy drivers got removed: timb, omap1, mx2, mx3
- lots of driver cleanups, improvements and fixups
