Mauro Carvalho Chehab 4266129964 [media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap
<rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c:

- In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it
  should be listed in alphabetical order, not first.

- The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/

- The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to
  media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html

- Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that.

- Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of
  merging into this one?

Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook
to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory.

Thanks-to: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>

interface and may change in the future.</para>
</note>
<para>This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame sizes
supported by a sub-device on the given pad for the given media bus format.
Supported formats can be retrieved with the &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-ENUM-MBUS-CODE;
ioctl.</para>
<para>To enumerate frame sizes applications initialize the
<structfield>pad</structfield>, <structfield>code</structfield> and
<structfield>index</structfield> fields of the
&v4l2-subdev-mbus-code-enum; and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_SIZE</constant> ioctl with a pointer to
the structure. Drivers fill the minimum and maximum frame sizes or return
an &EINVAL; if one of the input parameters is invalid.</para>
<para>Sub-devices that only support discrete frame sizes (such as most
sensors) will return one or more frame sizes with identical minimum and
maximum values.</para>
<para>Not all possible sizes in given [minimum, maximum] ranges need to be
supported. For instance, a scaler that uses a fixed-point scaling ratio
might not be able to produce every frame size between the minimum and
maximum values. Applications must use the &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-S-FMT; ioctl to
try the sub-device for an exact supported frame size.</para>
<para>Available frame sizes may depend on the current 'try' formats at other
pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links and the
current values of V4L2 controls. See &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-G-FMT; for more
information about try formats.</para>
