Merge branch 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - some V4L2 API updates needed by embedded devices - DVB API extensions for ATSC-MH delivery system, used in US for mobile TV - new tuners for fc0011/0012/0013 and tua9001 - a new dvb driver for af9033/9035 - a new ATSC-MH frontend (lg2160) - new remote controller keymaps - Removal of a few legacy webcam driver that got replaced by gspca on several kernel versions ago - a new driver for Exynos 4/5 webcams(s5pp fimc-lite) - a new webcam sensor driver (smiapp) - a new video input driver for embedded (sta2x1xx) - several improvements, fixes, cleanups, etc inside the drivers. Manually fix up conflicts due to err() -> dev_err() conversion in drivers/staging/media/easycap/easycap_main.c * 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (484 commits) [media] saa7134-cards: Remove a PCI entry added by mistake [media] radio-sf16fmi: add support for SF16-FMD [media] rc-loopback: remove duplicate line [media] patch for Asus My Cinema PS3-100 (1043:48cd) [media] au0828: Move the Kconfig knob under V4L_USB_DRIVERS [media] em28xx: simple comment fix [media] [resend] radio-sf16fmr2: add PnP support for SF16-FMD2 [media] smiapp: Use v4l2_ctrl_new_int_menu() instead of v4l2_ctrl_new_custom() [media] smiapp: Add support for 8-bit uncompressed formats [media] smiapp: Allow generic quirk registers [media] smiapp: Use non-binning limits if the binning limit is zero [media] smiapp: Initialise rval in smiapp_read_nvm() [media] smiapp: Round minimum pre_pll up rather than down in ip_clk_freq check [media] smiapp: Use 8-bit reads only before identifying the sensor [media] smiapp: Quirk for sensors that only do 8-bit reads [media] smiapp: Pass struct sensor to register writing commands instead of i2c_client [media] smiapp: Allow using external clock from the clock framework [media] zl10353: change .read_snr() to report SNR as a 0.1 dB [media] media: add support to gspca/pac7302.c for 093a:2627 (Genius FaceCam 300) [media] m88rs2000 - only flip bit 2 on reg 0x70 on 16th try ...

+ <para>The hardware may be able to detect the current DV timings
+automatically, similar to sensing the video standard. To do so, applications
+call <constant>VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS</constant> with a pointer to a
+&v4l2-dv-timings;. Once the hardware detects the timings, it will fill in the
+timings structure.
+
+If the timings could not be detected because there was no signal, then
+<errorcode>ENOLINK</errorcode> is returned. If a signal was detected, but
+it was unstable and the receiver could not lock to the signal, then
+<errorcode>ENOLCK</errorcode> is returned. If the receiver could lock to the signal,
+but the format is unsupported (e.g. because the pixelclock is out of range
+of the hardware capabilities), then the driver fills in whatever timings it
+could find and returns <errorcode>ERANGE</errorcode>. In that case the application
+can call &VIDIOC-DV-TIMINGS-CAP; to compare the found timings with the hardware's
+capabilities in order to give more precise feedback to the user.
