From 3369cde0afc1e6aa405768ccc83a406d385055ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 04:59:12 -0300 Subject: [media] video.rst: a sensor is also considered to be a physical input Add the line "Camera sensors are also considered to be a video input." In practice all non-MC drivers for sensors support the input ioctls, and the compliance test actually tests for the presence of these ioctls. So clarify the documentation by explicitly mentioning sensors.
