Documentation: media: gen-errors.rst: fix confusing ENOTTY description

2023-10-13T09:33:22+00:00

The text is very, very old and predates /dev/mediaX devices, so the reference to "media device" is today very confusing. It also says that the ioctl is not supported by the driver, but a driver may have multiple device nodes, some support a given ioctl, and some don't. Simplify the description: ENOTTY means that the ioctl is not supported by the file descriptor.

media: docs: use the new SPDX header for GFDL-1.1 on *.rst files

2020-09-01T12:13:30+00:00

SPDX v3.10 gained support for GFDL-1.1 with no invariant sections: https://spdx.org/licenses/GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later.html So, remove the license text, replacing them by this new SPDX license. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media

2020-04-14T08:31:49+00:00

Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
