Mauro Carvalho Chehab 8e080c2e6c V4L/DVB (12761): DocBook: add media API specs
The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now,
no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook.

This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium.

<title>Description</title>
<para>To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
applications set the <structfield>tuner</structfield> field of a
&v4l2-frequency; to the respective tuner or modulator number (only
input devices have tuners, only output devices have modulators), zero
out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure. The driver stores the current frequency in the
<structfield>frequency</structfield> field.</para>
<para>To change the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,
<structfield>type</structfield> and
<structfield>frequency</structfield> fields, and the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-frequency; and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the
driver assumes the closest possible value. However
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> is a write-only ioctl, it does
not return the actual new frequency.</para>
