V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY control allows applications to instruct
a driver what is the power line frequency so an appropriate filter
can be used by the device to cancel flicker by compensating the light
intensity ripple. Currently in the menu we have entries for 50 Hz and
60 Hz and for entirely disabling the anti-flicker filter.
However some devices are capable of automatically detecting the
frequency, so add V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY_AUTO entry for them.

A possibility to preallocate and initialise buffers of different sizes
in V4L2 is required for an efficient implementation of a snapshot
mode. This patch adds two new ioctl()s: VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS and
VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF and defines respective data structures.

Add a new VOLATILE control flag that is set for volatile controls.
That way applications know whether the value of the control is volatile
(i.e. can change continuously) or not.
Until now this was an internal property, but it is useful to know in
userspace as well.
A typical use case is the gain value when autogain is on. In that case the
hardware will continuously adjust the gain based various environmental
factors.
This patch just adds and documents the flag, it's not yet used.

Normally no control events will go to the filehandle that called the
VIDIOC_S_CTRL/VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS ioctls. This is to prevent a feedback
loop.
This can now be overridden by setting the new V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK
flag.

Whenever a control changes value or state an event is sent to anyone
that subscribed to it.
This functionality is useful for control panels but also for applications
that need to wait for (usually status) controls to change value.

Some ioctl's were defined wrong on 2.6.2 and 2.6.6, using the wrong
type of R/W arguments. They were fixed, but the old ioctl names are
still there, maintained to avoid breaking binary compatibility:
There's no sense on preserving those forever, as it is very doubtful
that someone would try to use a such old binary with a modern kernel.
Removing them will allow us to remove some magic done at the V4L ioctl
handler.
Note that any application compiled with a videodev2.h from 2.6.7 or later
will be using the correct ioctls.

Multi-planar API is as a backwards-compatible extension of the V4L2 API,
which allows video buffers to consist of one or more planes. Planes are
separate memory buffers; each has its own mapping, backed by usually
separate physical memory buffers.
Many different uses for the multi-planar API are possible, examples
include:
- embedded devices requiring video components to be placed in physically
separate buffers, e.g. for Samsung S3C/S5P SoC series' video codec,
Y and interleaved Cb/Cr components reside in buffers in different
memory banks;
- applications may receive (or choose to store) video data of one video
buffer in separate memory buffers; such data would have to be temporarily
copied together into one buffer before passing it to a V4L2 device;
- applications or drivers may want to pass metadata related to a buffer and
it may not be possible to place it in the same buffer, together with video
data.

Many video drivers implement a fixed set of frame formats and thus face a task
of finding the best match for a user-requested format. Implementing this in a
generic function has also an advantage, that different drivers with similar
supported format sets will select the same format for the user, which improves
consistency across drivers.
