Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "A much quieter cycle for documentation (happily), with, one hopes, the bulk of the churn behind us.

2020-10-02media: siano: rename a duplicated card stringMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+1
There are two different variants for Hauppauge WinTV MiniCard: [SMS1XXX_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_TIGER_MINICARD] = { .name = "Hauppauge WinTV MiniCard", .type = SMS_NOVA_B0, .fw[DEVICE_MODE_DVBT_BDA] = SMS_FW_DVBT_HCW_55XXX, .default_mode = DEVICE_MODE_DVBT_BDA, .lna_ctrl = 29, .board_cfg.foreign_lna0_ctrl = 29, .rf_switch = 17, .board_cfg.rf_switch_uhf = 17, }, [SMS1XXX_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_TIGER_MINICARD_R2] = { .name = "Hauppauge WinTV MiniCard Rev 2", .type = SMS_NOVA_B0, .fw[DEVICE_MODE_DVBT_BDA] = SMS_FW_DVBT_HCW_55XXX, .default_mode = DEVICE_MODE_DVBT_BDA, .lna_ctrl = -1, }, As it can be seen, the RF part of the definitions are different. So, better to use different names in order to distinguish between them. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-09-30media: docs: ipu3.rst: rely at automarkup extensionMauro Carvalho Chehab1-19/+19
There are several :c:type: definitions there, in order to do cross-references with the driver's documentation. Those are broken when docs are built with Sphinx 3.x, as it would require :c:struct: instead. For Sphinx < 3.x, the automarkup.py extension is able to do the replacement already, and a future improvement on it should make it also work with Sphinx 3.x. So, get rid of the usage of the :c:type: macro there. Reviewed-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

2020-09-10media: usbvision: remove deprecated driverHans Verkuil2-284/+0
To quote the TODO of this driver: -------------------------------------------------------------- The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end of 2020. In order to prevent removal the following actions would have to be taken: - clean up the code - convert to the vb2 framework - fix the disconnect and free-on-last-user handling (i.e., add a release callback for struct v4l2_device and rework the code to use that correctly). -------------------------------------------------------------- Nobody picked this up, so it's time to retire this driver.

2020-07-04media: samsung: Rename Samsung and Exynos to lowercaseKrzysztof Kozlowski1-3/+3
Fix up inconsistent usage of upper and lowercase letters in "Samsung" and "Exynos" names. "SAMSUNG" and "EXYNOS" are not abbreviations but regular trademarked names. Therefore they should be written with lowercase letters starting with capital letter. The lowercase "Exynos" name is promoted by its manufacturer Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., in advertisement materials and on website. Although advertisement materials usually use uppercase "SAMSUNG", the lowercase version is used in all legal aspects (e.g. on Wikipedia and in privacy/legal statements on https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/privacy-global/).

2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Fix the MIPI CSI-2 virtual channelFabio Estevam1-16/+15
The current instructions for imx6q-sabresd do not lead to functional capture on OV5640 MIPI CSI-2. The reason for this, as explained by Steve Longerbeam, is that OV5640 by default transmits on virtual channel 0, not channel 1 as is given in the instructions. Adapt the instructions to use virtual channel 0 so that a working camera setup can be achieved on imx6q-sabresd. Also, since we are using an IC direct conversion pipeline, improve the example by demonstrating colorspace and scaling.
