Merge branch 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- V4L2 API additions to better support JPEG compression control
- media API additions to properly support MPEG decoders
- V4L2 API additions for image crop/scaling
- a few other V4L2 API DocBook fixes/improvements
- two new DVB frontend drivers: m88rs2000 and rtl2830
- two new DVB drivers: az6007 and rtl28xxu
- a framework for ISA drivers, that removed lots of common code found
at the ISA radio drivers
- a new FM transmitter driver (radio-keene)
- a GPIO-based IR receiver driver
- a new sensor driver: mt9m032
- some new video drivers: adv7183, blackfin, mx2_emmaprp, sii9234_drv,
vs6624
- several new board additions, driver fixes, improvements and cleanups.
