A virtual stateless device for stateless uAPI development purposes.
This tool's objective is to help the development and testing of
userspace applications that use the V4L2 stateless API to decode media.
A userspace implementation can use visl to run a decoding loop even when
no hardware is available or when the kernel uAPI for the codec has not
been upstreamed yet. This can reveal bugs at an early stage.
This driver can also trace the contents of the V4L2 controls submitted
to it. It can also dump the contents of the vb2 buffers through a
debugfs interface. This is in many ways similar to the tracing
infrastructure available for other popular encode/decode APIs out there
and can help develop a userspace application by using another (working)
one as a reference.
Note that no actual decoding of video frames is performed by visl. The
V4L2 test pattern generator is used to write various debug information
to the capture buffers instead.

It is hard to keep all those options aligned as newer config
changes get added, and we really don't want to have patches adding
new options also touching already existing entries.
So, drop the extra spaces.

The virtual DVB test driver serves as a reference DVB driver and helps
validate the existing APIs in the media subsystem. It can also aid
developers working on userspace applications.
This dummy tuner should support common TV standards such as DVB-T/T2/S/S2,
ISDB-T and ATSC when completed.

We never use _ in directory names in the media subsystem, so
rename to test-drivers instead for consistency.
Also update MAINTAINERS with the new path.
