Merge tag 'media/v4.8-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "This patch series does the conversion of all media documentation stuff to Restrutured Text markup format and add them to the Documentation/index.rst file. The media documentation was grouped into 4 books: - media uAPI - media kAPI - V4L driver-specific documentation - DVB driver-specific documentation It also contains several documentation improvements and one fixup patch for a core issue with cropcap. PS. After this patch series, the media DocBook is deprecated and should be removed. I'll add such patch on a future pull request" * tag 'media/v4.8-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (322 commits) [media] cx23885-cardlist.rst: add a new card [media] doc-rst: add some needed escape codes [media] doc-rst: kapi: use :c:func: instead of :cpp:func doc-rst: kernel-doc: fix a change introduced by mistake [media] v4l2-ioctl.h add debug info for struct v4l2_ioctl_ops [media] dvb_ringbuffer.h: some documentation improvements [media] v4l2-ctrls.h: fully document the header file [media] doc-rst: Fix some typedef ugly warnings [media] doc-rst: reorganize the kAPI v4l2 chapters [media] rename v4l2-framework.rst to v4l2-intro.rst [media] move V4L2 clocks to a separate .rst file [media] v4l2-fh.rst: add cross references and markups [media] v4l2-fh.rst: add fh contents from v4l2-framework.rst [media] v4l2-fh.h: add documentation for it [media] v4l2-event.rst: add cross-references and markups [media] v4l2-event.h: document all functions [media] v4l2-event.rst: add text from v4l2-framework.rst [media] v4l2-framework.rst: remove videobuf quick chapter [media] v4l2-dev: add cross-references and improve markup [media] doc-rst: move v4l2-dev doc to a separate file ...

+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, const v4l2_std_id *argp )
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``request``
+ VIDIOC_G_STD, VIDIOC_S_STD
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To query and select the current video standard applications use the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` ioctls which take a pointer to a
+:ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>` type as argument. :ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>`
+can return a single flag or a set of flags as in struct
+:ref:`v4l2_standard <v4l2-standard>` field ``id``. The flags must be
+unambiguous such that they appear in only one enumerated
+:ref:`struct v4l2_standard <v4l2-standard>` structure.
+
+:ref:`VIDIOC_S_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` accepts one or more flags, being a write-only ioctl it
+does not return the actual new standard as :ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` does. When
+no flags are given or the current input does not support the requested
+standard the driver returns an ``EINVAL`` error code. When the standard set
+is ambiguous drivers may return ``EINVAL`` or choose any of the requested
+standards. If the current input or output does not support standard
+video timings (e.g. if :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT`
+does not set the ``V4L2_IN_CAP_STD`` flag), then ``ENODATA`` error code is
+returned.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+EINVAL
+ The :ref:`VIDIOC_S_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` parameter was unsuitable.
+
+ENODATA
+ Standard video timings are not supported for this input or output.
