Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add a glossary and fix some issues at open.rst docs
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2018 09:06:50 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1537876293.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> (raw)

Those three patches were part of an attempt to add definitions for
some terms used at the media subsystem:

	https://lwn.net/Articles/732022/

On that time, the first patch generated heated discussions, on terms
related to mc-centric/vdev-centric. The cern of the discussions were
how to call the subdev API and the non-subdev API part of the 
video4linux API.

I ended by being side-tracked by other things, and didn't have a chance
to submit an updated version.

Well, now I'm doing things differently: at the glossary.rst, I removed
everything related to hardware control. So, it should contain only the
terms that there aren't any divergences. So, I hope we can manage to
merge it this time.

After having this series merged, I'll address again the MC/vdev centric
hardware control on a separate patchset, perhaps using a different
approach together with the new glossary definitions related
to it.

  media: add glossary.rst with common terms used at V4L2 spec
