Both V4L2 and V4L2 subdev interface have very similar selection APIs with
differences foremost related to in-memory and media bus formats. However,
the selection targets are the same for both. Most targets are and in the
future will likely continue to be more the same than with any differences.
Thus it makes sense to unify the documentation of the targets.

The string "_ACTUAL" does not say anything more about the target names. Drop
it. V4L2 selection API was changed by "V4L: Remove "_ACTIVE" from the
selection target name definitions" by Sylwester Nawrocki. This patch does
the same for the V4L2 subdev API.

This patch drops the _ACTIVE part from the selection target names
as a prerequisite to unify the selection target names across the subdev
and regular video node API.
The meaning of V4L2_SEL_TGT_*_ACTIVE and V4L2_SUBDEV_SEL_TGT_*_ACTUAL
selection targets is logically the same. Different names add to confusion
where both APIs are used in a single driver or an application. For some
system configurations different names may lead to interoperability issues.
For backwards compatibility V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_ACTIVE and
V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_ACTIVE are defined as aliases to V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP
and V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE. These aliases will be removed after deprecation
period, according to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt.

The firmwares are there at the same place for a long time. However,
each time I need to remember where it is, I need to seek at the net.
The better is to just add a logic at the get_dvb_firmare script,
in order to obtain it from a reliable source.

Using the V4L2 core lock is a very robust method that is usually very good
at doing the right thing. But some drivers, particularly USB drivers, may
want to prevent the core from taking the lock for specific ioctls, particularly
buffer queuing ioctls.
The reason is that certain commands like S_CTRL can take a long time to process
over USB and all the time the core has the lock, preventing VIDIOC_DQBUF from
proceeding, even though a frame may be ready in the queue.
This introduces unwanted latency.
Since the buffer queuing commands often have their own internal lock it is
often not necessary to take the core lock. Drivers can now say that they don't
want the core to take the lock for specific ioctls.
As it is a specific opt-out it makes it clear to the reviewer that those
ioctls will need more care when reviewing.

V4L2 uses the enum type in IOCTL arguments in IOCTLs that were defined until
the use of enum was considered less than ideal. Recently Rémi Denis-Courmont
brought up the issue by proposing a patch to convert the enums to unsigned:
<URL:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg46167.html>
This sparked a long discussion where another solution to the issue was
proposed: two sets of IOCTL structures, one with __u32 and the other with
enums, and conversion code between the two:
<URL:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg47168.html>
Both approaches implement a complete solution that resolves the problem. The
first one is simple but requires assuming enums and __u32 are the same in
size (so we won't break the ABI) while the second one is more complex and
less clean but does not require making that assumption.
The issue boils down to whether enums are fundamentally different from __u32
or not, and can the former be substituted by the latter. During the
discussion it was concluded that the __u32 has the same size as enums on all
archs Linux is supported: it has not been shown that replacing those enums
in IOCTL arguments would break neither source or binary compatibility. If no
such reason is found, just replacing the enums with __u32s is the way to go.
This is what this patch does. This patch is slightly different from Remi's
first RFC (link above): it uses __u32 instead of unsigned and also changes
the arguments of VIDIOC_G_PRIORITY and VIDIOC_S_PRIORITY.
