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>

52 <para>The hardware may be able to detect the current video
53standard automatically. To do so, applications call <constant>
54VIDIOC_QUERYSTD</constant> with a pointer to a &v4l2-std-id; type. The
55driver stores here a set of candidates, this can be a single flag or a
56set of supported standards if for example the hardware can only
57distinguish between 50 and 60 Hz systems. When detection is not
58possible or fails, the set must contain all standards supported by the
59current video input or output.</para>
