V4L/DVB: Documentation: update now that the vtx/videotext API has been removed
Remove all references to /dev/vtx in the documentation, except for
some historical comments in dev-teletext.xml.
Documentation/devices.txt is not updated, this will go through Alan Cox
who maintains this file.

503 | What: video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support | ||
504 | When: 2.6.35 | ||
505 | Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c | ||
506 | include/linux/videotext.h | ||
507 | Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes | ||
508 | for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support. | ||
509 | Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249 | ||
510 | has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware | ||
511 | that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically | ||
512 | supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked. | ||
513 | |||
514 | In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there | ||
515 | are no applications actually implementing this API. | ||
516 | |||
517 | The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really | ||
518 | like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely | ||
519 | event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality | ||
520 | provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build | ||
521 | around the sliced VBI API instead. | ||
