v4l2-ioctl: change to long return type to match unlocked_ioctl.

2008-12-30T10:04:34+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

Since internal to v4l2 the ioctl prototype is the same regardless of it
being called through .ioctl or .unlocked_ioctl, we need to convert it all
to the long return type of unlocked_ioctl.

Thanks to Jean-Francois Moine for posting an initial patch for this and
thus bringing it to our attention.

v4l2: introduce v4l2_file_operations.

2008-12-30T09:58:20+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

Introduce a struct v4l2_file_operations for v4l2 drivers.

Remove the unnecessary inode argument.

Move compat32 handling (and llseek) into the v4l2-dev core: this is now
handled in the v4l2 core and no longer in the drivers themselves.

Note that this changeset reverts an earlier patch that changed the return
type of__video_ioctl2 from int to long. This change will be reinstated
later in a much improved version.

V4L: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()

2008-10-30T03:51:46+00:00

From: Kay Sievers 

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".

To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.

We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

Thanks,
Kay

v4l: use video_device.num instead of minor in video%d

2008-10-19T21:54:26+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

The kernel number of a v4l2 node (e.g. videoX, radioX or vbiX) is now
independent of the minor number. So instead of using the minor field
of the video_device struct one has to use the num field: this always
contains the kernel number of the device node.

I forgot about this when I did the v4l2 core change, so this patch
converts all drivers that use it in one go. Luckily the change is
trivial.

PATCH: Fix parents on some webcam drivers

2008-09-01T18:28:23+00:00

From: Hans de Goede 

While doing some testing using Luca Risolia's sonix driver I noticed that
the video device did not get ACL's set to allow access by locally logged in
users, nor does it show up as a video device in lshal, causing cheese to not
see it.

This turns out to be caused by all of Luca Risolia's drivers not setting
the parent member of the video_device struct. This patch fixes this.

v4l: replace video_get_drvdata(video_devdata(filp)) with video_drvdata(filp)

2008-08-23T11:32:09+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

Use the new video_drvdata(filp) function where it is safe to do so.

v4l2-dev: remove unused type and type2 field from video_device

2008-07-26T11:26:43+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

The type and type2 fields were unused and so could be removed.
Instead add a vfl_type field that contains the type of the video
device.

Remove obsolete owner field from video_device struct.

2008-07-21T10:51:45+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

According to an old comment this should have been removed in 2.6.15.

videodev: move some functions from v4l2-dev.h to v4l2-common.h or v4l2-ioctl.h

2008-07-20T11:12:02+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

The functions in a header should not belong to another module. The prio functions
belong to v4l2-common.c, so move them to v4l2-common.h.

The ioctl functions belong to v4l2-ioctl.c, so create a new v4l2-ioctl.h header
and move those functions to it.
