72d877cac0 [media] v4l2-ctrls: add v4l2_ctrl_auto_cluster to simplify autogain/gain scenarios
It is a bit tricky to handle autogain/gain type scenerios correctly. Such
controls need to be clustered and the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_UPDATE should be set on
the autofoo controls. In addition, the manual controls should be marked
inactive when the automatic mode is on, and active when the manual mode is on.
This also requires specialized volatile handling.

The chances of drivers doing all these things correctly are pretty remote.
So a new v4l2_ctrl_auto_cluster function was added that takes care of these
issues.

01c40c048b [media] v4l: Include linux/videodev2.h in media/v4l2-ctrls.h
The later makes extensive use of structures defined in the former.

2a863793be [media] v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup must set is_new to 1
Renamed has_new to is_new.

Drivers can use the is_new field to determine if a new value was specified
for a control. The v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup() must always set this to 1 since
the setup has to force a full update of all controls.

513521eaee [media] v4l2-ctrls: use const char * const * for the menu arrays
This prevents checkpatch warnings generated when defining
'static const char *foo[]' arrays. It makes sense to use
const char * const * anyway since the pointers in the array
are indeed const.

0996517cf8 V4L/DVB: v4l2: Add new control handling framework
Add a new framework to handle controls which makes life for driver
developers much easier.

Note that this patch moves some of the control support that used to be in
v4l2-common.c to v4l2-ctrls.c. The tables were copied unchanged. The body
of v4l2_ctrl_query_fill() was copied to a new v4l2_ctrl_fill() function
in v4l2-ctrls.c. This new function doesn't use the v4l2_queryctrl
struct anymore, which makes it more general.

The remainder of v4l2-ctrls.c is all new. Highlights include:

- No need to implement VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, QUERYMENU, S_CTRL, G_CTRL,
  S_EXT_CTRLS, G_EXT_CTRLS or TRY_EXT_CTRLS in either bridge drivers
  or subdevs. New wrapper functions are provided that can just be plugged in.
  Once everything has been converted these wrapper functions can be removed as well.

- When subdevices are added their controls can be automatically merged
  with the bridge driver's controls.

- Most drivers just need to implement s_ctrl to set the controls.
  The framework handles the locking and tries to be as 'atomic' as possible.

- Ready for the subdev device nodes: the same mechanism applies to subdevs
  and their device nodes as well. Sub-device drivers can make controls
  local, preventing them from being merged with bridge drivers.

- Takes care of backwards compatibility handling of VIDIOC_S_CTRL and
  VIDIOC_G_CTRL. Handling of V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE is fully transparent.
  CTRL_CLASS controls are automatically added.
