From e31a0ba7df6ce21ac4ed58c4182ec12ca8fd78fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 12:18:23 -0300 Subject: [media] media: Fix DVB devnode representation at media controller The previous provision for DVB media controller support were to define an ID (likely meaning the adapter number) for the DVB devnodes. This is just plain wrong. Just like V4L, DVB devices (and any other device node)) are uniquely identified via a (major, minor) tuple. This is enough to uniquely identify a devnode, no matter what API it implements. So, before we go too far, let's mark the old v4l, fb, dvb and alsa "devnode" info as deprecated, and just call it as "dev". We can latter add fields specific to each API if needed. As we don't want to break compilation on already existing apps, let's just keep the old definitions as-is, adding a note that those are deprecated at media-entity.h.
