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>

62 <para>To query the attributes of a tuner applications initialize the
63<structfield>index</structfield> field and zero out the
64<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-tuner; and call the
65<constant>VIDIOC_G_TUNER</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
66structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
67&EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all tuners
68applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the
69driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>
70
71 <para>Tuners have two writable properties, the audio mode and
72the radio frequency. To change the audio mode, applications initialize
73the <structfield>index</structfield>,
74<structfield>audmode</structfield> and
75<structfield>reserved</structfield> fields and call the
76<constant>VIDIOC_S_TUNER</constant> ioctl. This will
77<emphasis>not</emphasis> change the current tuner, which is determined
78by the current video input. Drivers may choose a different audio mode
79if the requested mode is invalid or unsupported. Since this is a
80<!-- FIXME -->write-only ioctl, it does not return the actually
81selected audio mode.</para>
