Not related to V4L, this is something from Oracle. It is this header that is
public,
not the media/rds.h header.

media/rds.h should be renamed to media/saa6588.h. It is also included in
drivers/media/radio/si470x/radio-si470x.h, but that's obsolete and can be
removed.

I can make a patch fixing the rds.h header usage. It's all internal stuff
and the weird naming is just historical and should be changed.

Nobody has the hardware :-)
I know you have asked the authors about a possible removal of this driver a few
months ago. Did you get any reply from them?
It seems to be a demonstration driver only and I've never seen anyone with the
hardware.
