The formats added in this patch include:
 V4L2_PIX_FMT_AYUV32
 V4L2_PIX_FMT_XYUV32
 V4L2_PIX_FMT_VUYA32
 V4L2_PIX_FMT_VUYX32

These formats enable the trasmission of alpha channel data to other
drivers and userspace applications in addition to YUV data. For
example, buffers generated by drivers in one of these formats
can be used by the Weston compositor to display as a texture or
flipped directly onto the overlay planes with the help of a DRM
driver.

Adds two helper macros:

V4L2_FIELD_IS_SEQUENTIAL: returns true if the given field type is
'sequential', that is a full frame is transmitted, or exists in
memory, as all top field lines followed by all bottom field lines,
or vice-versa.

V4L2_FIELD_IS_INTERLACED: returns true if the given field type is
'interlaced', that is a full frame is transmitted, or exists in
memory, as top field lines interlaced with bottom field lines.

V4L2_BUF_TYPE_META_OUTPUT was added by commit 72148d1a57e7
("media: v4l: Add support for V4L2_BUF_TYPE_META_OUTPUT") but the patch
missed adding the type to the macro telling whether a given type is an
output type or not. Do that now. Getting this wrong leads to handling the
buffer as a capture buffer in a lot of places.

<title>media: videodev2.h: add v4l2_timeval_to_ns inline function</title>

<content type='text'>
We want to be able to uniquely identify buffers for stateless
codecs. The internal timestamp (a u64) as stored internally in the
kernel is a suitable candidate for that, but in struct v4l2_buffer
it is represented as a struct timeval.

Add a v4l2_timeval_to_ns() function that converts the struct timeval
into a u64 in the same way that the kernel does. This makes it possible
to use this u64 elsewhere as a unique identifier of the buffer.

Since timestamps are also copied from the output buffer to the
corresponding capture buffer(s) by M2M devices, the u64 can be
used to refer to both output and capture buffers.

The plan is that in the future we redesign struct v4l2_buffer and use
u64 for the timestamp instead of a struct timeval (which has lots of
problems with 32 vs 64 bit and y2038 layout changes), and then there
is no more need to use this function.

The V4L2_BUF_TYPE_META_OUTPUT mirrors the V4L2_BUF_TYPE_META_CAPTURE with
the exception that it is an OUTPUT type. The use case for this is to pass
buffers to the device that are not image data but metadata. The formats,
just as the metadata capture formats, are typically device specific and
highly structured.

The MPEG2 state controls for the cedrus stateless MPEG2 driver are
not yet stable. Move them out of the public headers into media/mpeg2-ctrls.h.

Eventually, once this has stabilized, they will be moved back to the
public headers.

Unfortunately I had to cast the control type to a u32 in two switch
statements to prevent a compiler warning about a control type define
not being part of the enum.

<title>media: vb2: Allow reqbufs(0) with "in use" MMAP buffers</title>

<id>d644cca50f366cd109845ae92e37c09ed79adf81</id>
<content type='text'>
Videobuf2 presently does not allow VIDIOC_REQBUFS to destroy outstanding
buffers if the queue is of type V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP, and if the buffers are
considered "in use".  This is different behavior than for other memory
types and prevents us from deallocating buffers in following two cases:

1) There are outstanding mmap()ed views on the buffer. However even if
   we put the buffer in reqbufs(0), there will be remaining references,
   due to vma .open/close() adjusting vb2 buffer refcount appropriately.
   This means that the buffer will be in fact freed only when the last
   mmap()ed view is unmapped.

2) Buffer has been exported as a DMABUF. Refcount of the vb2 buffer
   is managed properly by VB2 DMABUF ops, i.e. incremented on DMABUF
   get and decremented on DMABUF release. This means that the buffer
   will be alive until all importers release it.

Considering both cases above, there does not seem to be any need to
prevent reqbufs(0) operation, because buffer lifetime is already
properly managed by both mmap() and DMABUF code paths. Let's remove it
and allow userspace freeing the queue (and potentially allocating a new
one) even though old buffers might be still in processing.

To let userspace know that the kernel now supports orphaning buffers
that are still in use, add a new V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_ORPHANED_BUFS
to be set by reqbufs and create_bufs.

Videobuf2 presently does not allow VIDIOC_REQBUFS to destroy outstanding
buffers if the queue is of type V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP, and if the buffers are
considered "in use".  This is different behavior than for other memory
types and prevents us from deallocating buffers in following two cases:

1) There are outstanding mmap()ed views on the buffer. However even if
   we put the buffer in reqbufs(0), there will be remaining references,
   due to vma .open/close() adjusting vb2 buffer refcount appropriately.
   This means that the buffer will be in fact freed only when the last
   mmap()ed view is unmapped.

2) Buffer has been exported as a DMABUF. Refcount of the vb2 buffer
   is managed properly by VB2 DMABUF ops, i.e. incremented on DMABUF
   get and decremented on DMABUF release. This means that the buffer
   will be alive until all importers release it.
