This pull request is identical to the REVIEWv2 patch series I posted earlier:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg59944.html

The only change (besides rebasing) is that patch 04/19 was moved to the end
of the patch series. More about that patch below.

This patch series updates bttv and tda7432 (a prerequisite of bttv) to the
latest v4l2 frameworks, except for vb2 (as usual). Conversion to vb2 is
something for the future.

This patch series has been tested with the following bttv cards:

Simple gpio-audio-based bttv card types:

39, 77, 41, 33

msp34xx based card types:

10 (with msp3410d)
1 (with msp3410c)

tvaudio based card types:

40 (with tda7432, tea6420 and tda9850)

The last one is now finally working. I doubt audio has worked at all in the
last few years for that card. I'm pretty pleased about this to be honest :-)

It turns out that the frequency handling in the current driver is partially
broken (see this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg58548.html). This
is now fixed as a consequence of these compliancy patches. It's something
v4l2-compliance found immediately, so this once again shows the importance of
using v4l2-compliance to test fixes.

While most patches are pretty standard for such conversions the last patch
needs some more background:

The current driver does not implement enumaudio (so apps cannot tell that
audio inputs are present), it does not set V4L2_CAP_AUDIO, nor does it set
audioset when calling ENUM_INPUT. And G_AUDIO doesn't set the stereo flag
either. So these g/s_audio ioctls are quite pointless and misleading.
Especially since some surveillance boards do not have audio at all.

So I decided to remove them. But after a question about this from Frank
Schäfer I investigated what would be needed to correctly implement
s/g/enumaudio. So I made a second bttv branch which is identical to this
one, except that the last patch is replaced by two new patches adding
proper s/g/enumaudio support:

http://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git/shortlog/refs/heads/bttv-audio

However, this patch relies on the audio_inputs field (currently commented out)
of the card definition, and I have serious doubts about the reliability of
that field. A wrong number is not a problem in itself as audio will remain
working, it is just that ENUMAUDIO will give wrong results.

So there are three options:

1) keep the current situation: i.e. apply just the first 18 patches and skip
   the last. I'm not in favor of this myself.

2) remove the g/s_audio ioctls. At least this makes the driver consistent
   with the V4L2 API. And adding the enumaudio support can always be done
   later.

3) use the bttv-audio branch and implement proper enumaudio support and just
   accept that enumaudio can return incorrect results if the card definition
   is wrong.

I am undecided which of options 2 or 3 is better. I'm leaning slightly towards
option 2, but there is much to be said for 3 as well. So I am leaving it to
you, Mauro, since you are the bttv maintainer anyway :-)

Regards,

        Hans
