There are several issues on the return value for ioctls:
- Text is confusing;
- Some error codes don't exist;
- The non-generic error codes should come before the text
that points to the generic error codes;
- Tables don't contain column size hints;
- Some references are not marked as such.

Instead of having one chapter per file, place all of them at

This ioctl seems to be some attempt to support a feature
at the bt8xx dst_ca driver. Yet, as said there, it

Sphinx 1.6 generates some LaTeX code before each table,
starting its own environment before calling tabulary,
apparently to improve table layout.
The problem is that such environment is incompatible with
adjustbox. While, in thesis, it should be possible to override
it or to redefine tabulary, I was unable to produce such patch.
Also, that would likely break on some future Sphinx version.
So, instead, let's just change the font size on bigger tables,
in order for them to fit into the page size. That is not as
good as adjustbox, and require some manual work, but it should
be less sensitive to Sphinx changes.
While here, adjust a few other tables whose text is exceeding

Also moved the colorspace sections to the end of the chapter. The old

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"Media updates for v4.12-rc1:
- new driver to support mediatek jpeg in hardware codec
- rc-lirc, s5p-cec and st-cec staging drivers got promoted
- hardware histogram support for vsp1 driver
- added Virtual Media Controller driver, to make easier to test the
media controller
- added a new CEC driver (rainshadow-cec)
- removed two staging LIRC drivers for obscure hardware that are too
obsolete
- added support for Intel SR300 Depth camera
- some improvements at CEC and RC core
- lots of driver cleanups, improvements all over the tree
With this series, we're finally getting rid of the LIRC staging
driver. There's just one left (lirc_zilog), with require more care,
as part of its functionality (IR RX) is already provided by another
driver. Work in progress to convert it on the proper way"

Here is the big USB patchset for 4.12-rc1.
Lots of good stuff here, after many many many attempts, the kernel
finally has a working typeC interface, many thanks to the Heikki and
Guenter and others who have taken the time to get this merged. It
wasn't an easy path for them at all.
There's also a staging driver that uses this new api, which is why it's
coming in through this tree.
Along with that, there's the usual huge number of changes for gadget
drivers, xhci, and other stuff. Johan also finally refactored pretty
much every driver that was looking at USB endpoints to do it in a common
way, which will help prevent any "badly-formed" devices from causing
problems in drivers. That too wasn't a simple task.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

The - character was probably used originally as indicator of an unused bit, but as the

Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
V4L2 exposes parameters that influence buffers sizes through the format
ioctls (VIDIOC_G_FMT, VIDIOC_TRY_FMT, VIDIOC_S_FMT, and possibly
VIDIOC_G_SELECTION and VIDIOC_S_SELECTION). Other parameters not part of
the format structure may also influence buffer sizes or buffer layout in
general. One existing such parameter is rotation, which is implemented
by the V4L2_CID_ROTATE control and thus exposed through the V4L2 control
ioctls.
The interaction between those parameters and buffers is currently only
partially specified by the V4L2 API. In particular interactions between
controls and buffers isn't specified at all. The behaviour of the
VIDIOC_S_FMT and VIDIOC_S_SELECTION ioctls when buffers are allocated is
also not fully specified.
This patch clearly defines and documents the interactions between
formats, selections, controls and buffers.
The preparatory discussions for the documentation change considered
completely disallowing controls that change the buffer size or layout,
in favour of extending the format API with a new ioctl that would bundle
those controls with format information. The idea has been rejected, as
this would essentially be a restricted version of the upcoming request
API that wouldn't bring any additional value.
Another option we have considered was to mandate the use of the request
API to modify controls that influence buffer size or layout. This has
also been rejected on the grounds that requiring the request API to
change rotation even when streaming is stopped would significantly
complicate implementation of drivers and usage of the V4L2 API for
applications.
Applications will however be required to use the upcoming request API to
change at runtime formats or controls that influence the buffer size or
layout, because of the need to synchronize buffers with the formats and
controls. Otherwise there would be no way to interpret the content of a
buffer correctly.

The documentation for video capture and output devices claims that the video standard
ioctls are required. This is not the case, they are only required for PAL/NTSC/SECAM

implement the DV Timings ioctls.
Just drop the mention of 'video standard' ioctls.
