Sylwester Nawrocki c6401af669 [media] Remove unneeded comments from the media API DocBook files
This removes comment tags intended for emacs configuration from
67 files in the Media API DocBook. Such comments are not really
helpful and violate  the coding style rules.

<title>Description</title>
<para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">memory
mapping</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a
buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
<para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field
of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as was previously used with
&v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers;
<structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield>
field. Valid index numbers range from zero
to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS;
(&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one.
The <structfield>reserved</structfield> field should to set to 0.
When using the <link linkend="planar-apis">multi-planar API</link>, the
<structfield>m.planes</structfield> field must contain a userspace pointer to an
array of &v4l2-plane; and the <structfield>length</structfield> field has
to be set to the number of elements in that array.
After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to
this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of
the structure.</para>
<para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>,
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The
<structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to the current
I/O method. For the single-planar API, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield>
contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory,
the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. For the multi-planar API,
fields <structfield>m.mem_offset</structfield> and
<structfield>length</structfield> in the <structfield>m.planes</structfield>
array elements will be used instead. The driver may or may not set the remaining
fields and flags, they are meaningless in this context.</para>
<para>The <structname>v4l2_buffer</structname> structure is
specified in <xref linkend="buffer" />.</para>
