Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device
node's parent. But if it was not set, then use the parent field in the
video_device struct.
This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but
creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video).
So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device,
but you can do that for each video_device.

video_register_device_index() checks if it was passed a NULL video_device
pointer (which isn't allowed) _after_ it has already dereferenced it with
video_get_drvdata(vdev). The checks are clearly pointless and can be
removed, as the function would have crashed before reaching them if vdev
ever was NULL.

Introduce a struct v4l2_file_operations for v4l2 drivers.
Remove the unnecessary inode argument.
Move compat32 handling (and llseek) into the v4l2-dev core: this is now
handled in the v4l2 core and no longer in the drivers themselves.
Note that this changeset reverts an earlier patch that changed the return
type of__video_ioctl2 from int to long. This change will be reinstated
later in a much improved version.

Drivers that use v4l2_device can set that as parent pointer in the v4l2_dev
field instead of using the struct device parent field.
This allows v4l2-dev.c to check whether this driver is v4l2_device based,
and if so then it can offer additional services.

Instead of relying on the cdev release callback we should rely on the
release callback from the device struct. This requires that we use
get_device/put_device to do proper refcounting. In order to do this
safely v4l2-dev.c now sets up its own file_operations that call
out to the driver's ops.

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.
Thanks,

The v4l core creates four different video devices (video, vbi, radio, vtx)
and each has its own range of minor numbers. However, modern devices keep
increasing the number of devices that they need so a maximum of 64 video
devices will not be enough in the future. In addition this scheme makes
it very hard to add new device types.
This patch disconnects the kernel number allocation (e.g. video0, video1,
etc.) from the actual minor number (just pick the first free minor).
This allows for much more flexibility in the future. However, it does
require the use of udev. For those who cannot use udev a new CONFIG option
was created that changes the allocation scheme back to the old behavior.
Thanks to Greg KH for suggesting this approach during the 2008 LPC.
In addition, several bugs were fixed in the ivtv and cx18 drivers: these
drivers try to allocate specific kernel numbers but that scheme contained
a bug which caused what should have been e.g. video17 to appear as e.g.
video2.

Replace the old register_chrdev with the more flexible register_chrdev_region.
Ensure that the release() is called when the very last chardev usage was
released, and not when the sysfs devices were removed. This should simplify
hotpluggable drivers considerably.

videodev.c became top-heavy so all the ioctl processing has been split off
into v4l2-ioctl.c. This means videodev.c is back to its original purpose:
creating and registering v4l devices.
Since videodev.c and v4l2-ioctl.c should still remain one module (as least
for now) I also had to rename videodev.c to v4l2-dev.c to prevent a
circular dependency when building a videodev.ko module. This is not a bad
thing, since the source and header now have the same name. And the v4l2-
prefix is useful to see which sources are generic v4l2 support code.
