Laurent Pinchart d52e238136 [media] v4l: Support extending the v4l2_pix_format structure 
The v4l2_pix_format structure has no reserved field. It is embedded in
the v4l2_framebuffer structure which has no reserved fields either, and
in the v4l2_format structure which has reserved fields that were not
previously required to be zeroed out by applications.

To allow extending v4l2_pix_format, inline it in the v4l2_framebuffer
structure, and use the priv field as a magic value to indicate that the
application has set all v4l2_pix_format extended fields and zeroed all
reserved fields following the v4l2_pix_format field in the v4l2_format
structure.

The availability of this API extension is reported to userspace through
the new V4L2_CAP_EXT_PIX_FORMAT capability flag. Just checking that the
priv field is still set to the magic value at [GS]_FMT return wouldn't
be enough, as older kernels don't zero the priv field on return.

To simplify the internal API towards drivers zero the extended fields
and set the priv field to the magic value for applications not aware of
the extensions.

<title>Description</title>
<para>Applications can use the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> and
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant> ioctl to get and set the
framebuffer parameters for a <link linkend="overlay">Video
Overlay</link> or <link linkend="osd">Video Output Overlay</link>
(OSD). The type of overlay is implied by the device type (capture or
output device) and can be determined with the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl.
One <filename>/dev/videoN</filename> device must not support both
kinds of overlay.</para>
<para>The V4L2 API distinguishes destructive and non-destructive
overlays. A destructive overlay copies captured video images into the
video memory of a graphics card. A non-destructive overlay blends
video images into a VGA signal or graphics into a video signal.
<wordasword>Video Output Overlays</wordasword> are always
non-destructive.</para>
<para>To get the current parameters applications call the
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> ioctl with a pointer to a
<structname>v4l2_framebuffer</structname> structure. The driver fills
all fields of the structure or returns an &EINVAL; when overlays are
not supported.</para>
<para>To set the parameters for a <wordasword>Video Output
Overlay</wordasword>, applications must initialize the
<structfield>flags</structfield> field of a struct
<structname>v4l2_framebuffer</structname>. Since the framebuffer is
implemented on the TV card all other parameters are determined by the
driver. When an application calls <constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant>
with a pointer to this structure, the driver prepares for the overlay
and returns the framebuffer parameters as
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> does, or it returns an error
code.</para>
<para>To set the parameters for a <wordasword>non-destructive
Video Overlay</wordasword>, applications must initialize the
<structfield>flags</structfield> field, the
<structfield>fmt</structfield> substructure, and call
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant>. Again the driver prepares for the
overlay and returns the framebuffer parameters as
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> does, or it returns an error
code.</para>
<para>For a <wordasword>destructive Video Overlay</wordasword>
applications must additionally provide a
<structfield>base</structfield> address. Setting up a DMA to a
random memory location can jeopardize the system security, its
stability or even damage the hardware, therefore only the superuser
can set the parameters for a destructive video overlay.</para>

<entry>If this flag is set for a video capture device, then the
driver will set the initial overlay size to cover the full framebuffer size,
otherwise the existing overlay size (as set by &VIDIOC-S-FMT;) will be used.
Only one video capture driver (bttv) supports this flag. The use of this flag
for capture devices is deprecated. There is no way to detect which drivers
support this flag, so the only reliable method of setting the overlay size is
through &VIDIOC-S-FMT;.
If this flag is set for a video output device, then the video output overlay
window is relative to the top-left corner of the framebuffer and restricted
to the size of the framebuffer. If it is cleared, then the video output
overlay window is relative to the video output display.
