885fe18f55 [media] pwc: Replace private buffer management code with videobuf2
Looking at the pwc buffer management code has made it clear to me it needed
some serious fixing. Not only was there a ton of code duplication even
internally to pwc (read and mmap wait for frame code was duplicated), the
code also was outright buggy. With the worst offender being dqbuf, which
just round robin returned all the mmap buffers, without paying any attention
to them being queued by the app with qbuf or not. And qbuf itself was a noop.

So I set out to fix this and already had some cleanups in place when
I read Jonathan Corbet's lwn article on videobuf2, this inspired me to just
rip out the buffer management code and replace it with videobuf2, greatly
reducing the amount of code, and fixing all bugs in one go:

Many thanks to Jonathan for the timely article on this !

479567ce3a V4L/DVB: pwc: fully convert driver to V4L2
Remove the V4L1 API from this driver, making it fully V4L2.

Also fix a bug where the /dev/videoX device was created too early, which led
to initialization problems of the camera, making it unable to capture video.

9f6933be66 V4L/DVB (3599a): Move drivers/usb/media to drivers/media/video
Because of historic reasons, there are two separate directories with
V4L stuff. Most drivers are located at driver/media/video. However, some
code for USB Webcams were inserted under drivers/usb/media.

This makes difficult for module authors to know were things should be.
Also, makes Kconfig menu confusing for normal users.

This patch moves all V4L content under drivers/usb/media to
drivers/media/video, and fixes Kconfig/Makefile entries.
