Mauro Carvalho Chehab fc78c7c7a1 [media] docs-rst: simplify c:type: cross references
Instead of using c:type:`struct foo <foo>`, use:
	struct c:type:`foo`

This patch was generated via this shell script:

	for i in `find Documentation/media -type f`; do perl -ne 'if (m/\:c\:type\:\`struct\s+(\S+)\s*\<(\S+)\>\`/) { $s=$1; $r=$2; if ($s eq $r) { s/\:c\:type\:\`struct\s+(\S+)\s*\<(\S+)\>\`/struct :c:type:`$2`/; s/struct\s+struct/struct/;  s/(struct\s+\:c\:type\:\`\S+\`)\s+structure/$1/;  }} print $_' <$i >a && mv a $i; done

.. _VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF:
************************
ioctl VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF
************************
Name
====
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF - Prepare a buffer for I/O
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF, struct v4l2_buffer *argp )
:name: VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
``argp``
Description
===========
Applications can optionally call the :ref:`VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF` ioctl to
pass ownership of the buffer to the driver before actually enqueuing it,
using the :ref:`VIDIOC_QBUF` ioctl, and to prepare it for future I/O. Such
preparations may include cache invalidation or cleaning. Performing them
in advance saves time during the actual I/O. In case such cache
operations are not required, the application can use one of
``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE`` and
``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN`` flags to skip the respective step.
The struct :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` structure is specified in
:ref:`buffer`.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
EBUSY
File I/O is in progress.
EINVAL
The buffer ``type`` is not supported, or the ``index`` is out of
bounds, or no buffers have been allocated yet, or the ``userptr`` or
``length`` are invalid.
