Pull media fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "Series of fixes for 3.10.  There are some usual driver fixes (mostly
  on s5p/exynos playform drivers), plus some fixes at V4L2 core"

* 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (40 commits)
  [media] soc_camera: error dev remove and v4l2 call
  [media] sh_veu: fix the buffer size calculation
  [media] sh_veu: keep power supply until the m2m context is released
  [media] sh_veu: invoke v4l2_m2m_job_finish() even if a job has been aborted
  [media] v4l2-ioctl: don't print the clips list
  [media] v4l2-ctrls: V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_FM_RX controls are also valid radio controls
  [media] cx88: fix NULL pointer dereference
  [media] DocBook/media/v4l: update version number
  [media] exynos4-is: Remove "sysreg" clock handling
  [media] exynos4-is: Fix reported colorspace at FIMC-IS-ISP subdev
  [media] exynos4-is: Ensure fimc-is clocks are not enabled until properly configured
  [media] exynos4-is: Prevent NULL pointer dereference when firmware isn't loaded
  [media] s5p-mfc: Add NULL check for allocated buffer
  [media] s5p-mfc: added missing end-of-lines in debug messages
  [media] s5p-mfc: v4l2 controls setup routine moved to initialization code
  [media] s5p-mfc: separate encoder parameters for h264 and mpeg4
  [media] s5p-mfc: Remove special clock usage in driver
  [media] s5p-mfc: Remove unused s5p_mfc_get_decoded_status_v6() function
  [media] v4l2: mem2mem: save irq flags correctly

<title>Codec Interface</title>
<note>
<title>Suspended</title>
<para>This interface has been be suspended from the V4L2 API
implemented in Linux 2.6 until we have more experience with codec
device interfaces.</para>
</note>
<para>A V4L2 codec can compress, decompress, transform, or otherwise
convert video data from one format into another format, in memory.
Applications send data to be converted to the driver through a
&func-write; call, and receive the converted data through a
&func-read; call. For efficiency a driver may also support streaming
I/O.</para>
convert video data from one format into another format, in memory. Typically
such devices are memory-to-memory devices (i.e. devices with the
<constant>V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M</constant> or <constant>V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M_MPLANE</constant>
capability set).
</para>
<para>[to do]</para>
<para>A memory-to-memory video node acts just like a normal video node, but it
supports both output (sending frames from memory to the codec hardware) and
capture (receiving the processed frames from the codec hardware into memory)
stream I/O. An application will have to setup the stream
I/O for both sides and finally call &VIDIOC-STREAMON; for both capture and output
to start the codec.</para>
<para>Video compression codecs use the MPEG controls to setup their codec parameters
(note that the MPEG controls actually support many more codecs than just MPEG).
See <xref linkend="mpeg-controls"></xref>.</para>
<para>Memory-to-memory devices can often be used as a shared resource: you can
open the video node multiple times, each application setting up their own codec properties
that are local to the file handle, and each can use it independently from the others.
The driver will arbitrate access to the codec and reprogram it whenever another file
handler gets access. This is different from the usual video node behavior where the video properties
are global to the device (i.e. changing something through one file handle is visible
through another file handle).</para>
