Merge branch 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media

Pull media fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "Series of fixes for 3.10.  There are some usual driver fixes (mostly
  on s5p/exynos playform drivers), plus some fixes at V4L2 core"

  [media] soc_camera: error dev remove and v4l2 call
  [media] sh_veu: fix the buffer size calculation
  [media] sh_veu: keep power supply until the m2m context is released
  [media] sh_veu: invoke v4l2_m2m_job_finish() even if a job has been aborted
  [media] v4l2-ioctl: don't print the clips list
  [media] v4l2-ctrls: V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_FM_RX controls are also valid radio controls
  [media] cx88: fix NULL pointer dereference
  [media] DocBook/media/v4l: update version number
  [media] exynos4-is: Remove "sysreg" clock handling
  [media] exynos4-is: Fix reported colorspace at FIMC-IS-ISP subdev
  [media] exynos4-is: Ensure fimc-is clocks are not enabled until properly configured
  [media] exynos4-is: Prevent NULL pointer dereference when firmware isn't loaded
  [media] s5p-mfc: Add NULL check for allocated buffer
  [media] s5p-mfc: added missing end-of-lines in debug messages
  [media] s5p-mfc: v4l2 controls setup routine moved to initialization code
  [media] s5p-mfc: separate encoder parameters for h264 and mpeg4
  [media] s5p-mfc: Remove special clock usage in driver
  [media] s5p-mfc: Remove unused s5p_mfc_get_decoded_status_v6() function
  [media] v4l2: mem2mem: save irq flags correctly

+  <para>A memory-to-memory video node acts just like a normal video node, but it
+supports both output (sending frames from memory to the codec hardware) and
+capture (receiving the processed frames from the codec hardware into memory)
+stream I/O. An application will have to setup the stream
+I/O for both sides and finally call &VIDIOC-STREAMON; for both capture and output
+to start the codec.</para>

-Applications send data to be converted to the driver through a

+  <para>Memory-to-memory devices can often be used as a shared resource: you can
+open the video node multiple times, each application setting up their own codec properties
+that are local to the file handle, and each can use it independently from the others.
+The driver will arbitrate access to the codec and reprogram it whenever another file
+handler gets access. This is different from the usual video node behavior where the video properties
+are global to the device (i.e. changing something through one file handle is visible
+through another file handle).</para>
