[media] Kconfig: Split the core support options from the driver ones

2012-07-06T12:12:59+00:00

Better arrange the remote controller driver items to happen after the
core support, on their proper menus, and making clerarer what is media
core options and what is media driver options.

[media] media: Remove VIDEO_MEDIA Kconfig option

2012-07-05T21:21:53+00:00

In the past, it was possible to have either DVB or V4L2 core
as module and the other as builtin. Such config never make much
sense, and created several issues in order to make the Kconfig
dependency to work, as all drivers that depend on both (most
TV drivers) would need to be compiled as 'm'. Due to that,
the VIDEO_MEDIA config option were added.

Instead of such weird approach, let's just use the MEDIA_SUPPORT
=y or =m to select if the media subsystem core will be either
builtin or module, simplifying the building system logic.

Also, fix the tuners configuration, by enabling them only if
a tuner is required. So, if just webcam/grabbers support is
selected, no tuner option will be selected. Also, if only digital
TV is selected, no analog tuner support is selected.

That removes the need of using EXPERT customise options, when
analog TV is not selected.

[media] media: reorganize the main Kconfig items

2012-07-05T21:21:28+00:00

Change the main items to:

 Multimedia support  --->
   [ ]   Cameras/video grabbers support
   [ ]   Analog TV support
   [ ]   Digital TV support
   [ ]   AM/FM radio receivers/transmitters support
   [ ]   Remote Controller support

This provides an interface that is clearer to end users that
are compiling the Kernel, and will allow the building system
to automatically unselect drivers for unused functions.

[media] DVB: dvb-net, make the kconfig text helpful

2011-07-27T20:53:09+00:00

Telling the user they can disable an option if they want is not the
much useful. Describe what it is good for instead.

The text was derived from Mauro's email.

[media] media: Media device node support

2011-03-22T07:52:22+00:00

The media_devnode structure provides support for registering and
unregistering character devices using a dynamic major number. Reference
counting is handled internally, making device drivers easier to write
without having to solve the open/disconnect race condition issue over
and over again.

The code is based on video/v4l2-dev.c.

[media] dabusb: Move it to staging to be deprecated

2010-12-29T10:17:15+00:00

dabusb driver were conceived as an experimental driver for a test
device. The driver never supported any shipped product, and, while
there were some updates on it in 2003, for an ancient product,
those changes were never submitted upstream.

Also, there's no DocBook for its API, nor any upstream discussion.

So, better to remove it, on .39. If later needed, we may rescue it
from git logs. For now, let's move it to staging.

[media] Remove VIDEO_V4L1 Kconfig option

2010-12-29T10:17:11+00:00

There's no sense on keeping VIDEO_V4L1 Kconfig option just because of
two deprecated drivers moved to staging scheduled to die on 2.6.39.
