Mauro Carvalho Chehab e8be7e97e6 [media] docs-rst: convert uAPI structs to C domain
instead of declaring the uAPI structs using usual refs, e. g.:
	.. _foo-struct:

Use the C domain way:
	.. c:type:: foo_struct

This way, the kAPI documentation can use cross-references to
point to the uAPI symbols.

That solves about ~100 undefined warnings like:
	WARNING: c:type reference target not found: foo_struct

Radio Interface
***************
This interface is intended for AM and FM (analog) radio receivers and
transmitters.
Conventionally V4L2 radio devices are accessed through character device
special files named ``/dev/radio`` and ``/dev/radio0`` to
``/dev/radio63`` with major number 81 and minor numbers 64 to 127.
Querying Capabilities
=====================
Devices supporting the radio interface set the ``V4L2_CAP_RADIO`` and
``V4L2_CAP_TUNER`` or ``V4L2_CAP_MODULATOR`` flag in the
``capabilities`` field of struct
:c:type:`v4l2_capability` returned by the
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` ioctl. Other combinations of
capability flags are reserved for future extensions.
Supplemental Functions
======================
Radio devices can support :ref:`controls <control>`, and must support
the :ref:`tuner or modulator <tuner>` ioctls.
They do not support the video input or output, audio input or output,
video standard, cropping and scaling, compression and streaming
parameter, or overlay ioctls. All other ioctls and I/O methods are
reserved for future extensions.
Programming
===========
Radio devices may have a couple audio controls (as discussed in
:ref:`control`) such as a volume control, possibly custom controls.
Further all radio devices have one tuner or modulator (these are
discussed in :ref:`tuner`) with index number zero to select the radio
frequency and to determine if a monaural or FM stereo program is
received/emitted. Drivers switch automatically between AM and FM
depending on the selected frequency. The
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_TUNER <VIDIOC_G_TUNER>` or
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR <VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR>` ioctl reports the
supported frequency range.
