Merge branch 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "Media fixes for: - one Kconfig fix patch; - one patch fixing DocBook breakage due to the drivers/media UAPI changes; - the remaining UAPI media changes (DVB API). I'm aware that is is a little late for the UAPI renames for the DVB API, but IMHO, it is better to merge it for 3.7, due to two reasons: 1) There is a major rename at 3.7 (not only uapi changes, but also the entire media drivers were reorganized on 3.7, in order to simplify the Kconfig logic, and easy drivers selection, especially for hybrid devices). By confining all those renames there at 3.7 it will cause all the harm at for media developers on just one shot. Stable backports upstream and at distros will likely welcome it as well, as they won't need to check what changed on 3.7 and what was postponed for on 3.8. 2) The V4L2 DocBook Makefile creates a cross-reference between the media API headers and the specs. This helps us _a_lot_ to be sure that all API improvements are properly documented. Every time a header changes from one place to another, DocBook/media/Makefile needs to be patched. Currently, the DocBook breakage patch depends on the DVB UAPI." * 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: [media] Kconfig: Fix dependencies for driver autoselect options DocBook/media/Makefile: Fix build due to uapi breakage UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/linux/dvb

- Use this option with care, as deselecting tuner drivers which

If unsure say Y.
