Pull new experimental media request API from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"A new media request API
This API is needed to support device drivers that can dynamically
change their parameters for each new frame. The latest versions of
Google camera and codec HAL depends on such feature.
At this stage, it supports only stateless codecs.
It has been discussed for a long time (at least over the last 3-4
years), and we finally reached to something that seem to work.
This series contain both the API and core changes required to support
it and a new m2m decoder driver (cedrus).
As the current API is still experimental, the only real driver using
it (cedrus) was added at staging[1]. We intend to keep it there for a
while, in order to test the API. Only when we're sure that this API
works for other cases (like encoders), we'll move this driver out of
staging and set the API into a stone.
[1] We added support for the vivid virtual driver (used only for
testing) to it too, as it makes easier to test the API for the ones
that don't have the cedrus hardware"

Clarify that calling cec_transmit_done can start a new transmit and
that you should put the hardware in a state that allows for a new
transmit before calling this function.

Using enums makes easier to document, as it can use kernel-doc
markups. It also allows cross-referencing, with increases the
kAPI readability.
Please notice that now cx88_querycap() has to have a default for
the VFL type, as there are more types than supported by the driver.

Both v4l2-event.rst and v4l2-event.h have an overview of
events, but there are some inconsistencies there:
- at v4l2-event, the event's ring buffer is called kevent. Its
name is, instead, v4l2_kevent;
- Some things are mentioned on both places (with different words),
others are either on one of the files.
In order to cleanup this mess, put everything at v4l2-event.rst
and improve it to be a little more coherent and to have cross
references.

The RC core does several assumptions, but those aren't documented
anywhere, with could make harder for ones that want to understand
what's there.
So, add an introduction explaining the basic concepts of RC and
how they're related to the RC core implementation.

rc-core has replaced the lirc kapi many years ago, and now with the last
driver ported to rc-core, we can finally remove it.
Note this has no effect on userspace.
All future IR drivers should use the rc-core api.

Instead of document all kAPI into a single file, split it
on multiple ones. That makes easier to maintain each part.
As a side effect, it will produce multiple html pages, with

No changes at the text. Just some chapter levels changed.

CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR can be used if the HW cannot tell LOST_ARB and
LOW_DRIVE apart, or when some other error occurs. It is not a
replacement for NACK.
So the hardware must be able to tell the difference between OK, NACK and
'something else'.
Clarify the documentation (both public and kernel API) on this point.
Also fix two small typos (this messages -> this message).
