doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/media
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also,
as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's
rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it
clearer.
No functional changes.

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. |
