[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c: - In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it should be listed in alphabetical order, not first. - The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/ - The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html - Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that. - Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of merging into this one? Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory. Thanks-to: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

-
- <para>To query the attributes of a control applications set the
-<structfield>id</structfield> field of a &v4l2-queryctrl; and call the
-<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
-structure. The driver fills the rest of the structure or returns an
-&EINVAL; when the <structfield>id</structfield> is invalid.</para>
-
- <para>It is possible to enumerate controls by calling
-<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> with successive
-<structfield>id</structfield> values starting from
-<constant>V4L2_CID_BASE</constant> up to and exclusive
-<constant>V4L2_CID_BASE_LASTP1</constant>. Drivers may return
-<errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode> if a control in this range is not
-supported. Further applications can enumerate private controls, which
-are not defined in this specification, by starting at
-<constant>V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE</constant> and incrementing
-<structfield>id</structfield> until the driver returns
-<errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>
-
- <para>In both cases, when the driver sets the
-<constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED</constant> flag in the
-<structfield>flags</structfield> field this control is permanently
-disabled and should be ignored by the application.<footnote>
- <para><constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED</constant> was
-intended for two purposes: Drivers can skip predefined controls not
-supported by the hardware (although returning EINVAL would do as
-well), or disable predefined and private controls after hardware
-detection without the trouble of reordering control arrays and indices
-(EINVAL cannot be used to skip private controls because it would
-prematurely end the enumeration).</para></footnote></para>
-
- <para>When the application ORs <structfield>id</structfield> with
-<constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> the driver returns the
-next supported control, or <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode> if there is
-none. Drivers which do not support this flag yet always return
-<errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>
-
- <para>Additional information is required for menu controls: the
-names of the menu items. To query them applications set the
-<structfield>id</structfield> and <structfield>index</structfield>
-fields of &v4l2-querymenu; and call the
-<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
-structure. The driver fills the rest of the structure or returns an
-&EINVAL; when the <structfield>id</structfield> or
-<structfield>index</structfield> is invalid. Menu items are enumerated
-by calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> with successive
-<structfield>index</structfield> values from &v4l2-queryctrl;
-<structfield>minimum</structfield> to
-<structfield>maximum</structfield>, inclusive. Note that it is possible
-for <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> to return an &EINVAL; for some
-indices between <structfield>minimum</structfield> and <structfield>maximum</structfield>.
-In that case that particular menu item is not supported by this driver. Also note that
-the <structfield>minimum</structfield> value is not necessarily 0.</para>
