Mauro Carvalho Chehab 9958d30f38 media: Kconfig: cleanup VIDEO_DEV dependencies
media Kconfig has two entries associated to V4L API:
VIDEO_DEV and VIDEO_V4L2.

On Kernel 2.6.x, there were two V4L APIs, each one with its own flag.
VIDEO_DEV were meant to:
	1) enable Video4Linux and make its Kconfig options to appear;
	2) it makes the Kernel build the V4L core.

while VIDEO_V4L2 where used to distinguish between drivers that
implement the newer API and drivers that implemented the former one.

With time, such meaning changed, specially after the removal of
all V4L version 1 drivers.

At the current implementation, VIDEO_DEV only does (1): it enables
the media options related to V4L, that now has:

	menu "Video4Linux options"
		visible if VIDEO_DEV

	source "drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig"
	endmenu

but it doesn't affect anymore the V4L core drivers.

The rationale is that the V4L2 core has a "soft" dependency
at the I2C bus, and now requires to select a number of other
Kconfig options:

	config VIDEO_V4L2
		tristate
		depends on (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV
		select RATIONAL
		select VIDEOBUF2_V4L2 if VIDEOBUF2_CORE
		default (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV

In the past, merging them would be tricky, but it seems that it is now
possible to merge those symbols, in order to simplify V4L dependencies.

Let's keep VIDEO_DEV, as this one is used on some make *defconfig
configurations.

Configuring the media subsystem can be complex, as there are
hundreds of drivers and other config options.
This menu offers option that will help the Kernel's config
system to hide drivers that are out of the scope of the
user needs, and disabling core support for unused APIs.
If not selected, all non-optional media core functionality
needed to support media drivers will be enabled. Also, all
media device drivers should be shown.

select I2C

default y if MEDIA_SUPPORT_FILTER
help
By default, a media driver auto-selects all possible ancillary
devices such as tuners, sensors, video encoders/decoders and
frontends, that are used by any of the supported devices.
This is generally the right thing to do, except when there
are strict constraints with regards to the kernel size,
like on embedded systems.
Use this option with care, as deselecting ancillary drivers which
are, in fact, necessary will result in the lack of the needed
functionality for your device (it may not tune or may not have
the needed demodulators).
If unsure say Y.

This is found on Embedded hardware (SoC), on V4L2 codecs and
on some GPU and newer CPU chipsets.

These drivers should not be used on production kernels, but
can be useful on debug ones. This option enables several dummy drivers
that simulate real hardware. Very useful to test userspace
applications and to validate if the subsystem core doesn't
have regressions.
Say Y if you want to use some virtual test driver.
In case of doubts, say N.
Say Y when you have a software defined radio device.
