V4L/DVB (12761): DocBook: add media API specs
The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now, no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook. This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

25 <para>As the video/audio devices become more complicated it
26becomes harder to debug problems. When this ioctl is called the driver
27will output the current device status to the kernel log. This is
28particular useful when dealing with problems like no sound, no video
29and incorrectly tuned channels. Also many modern devices autodetect
30video and audio standards and this ioctl will report what the device
31thinks what the standard is. Mismatches may give an indication where
32the problem is.</para>
