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>

<para>To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the
<structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-crop; to the
desired pad number as reported by the media API and the
<structfield>which</structfield> field to
<constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE</constant>. They then call the
<constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. The driver fills the members of the <structfield>rect</structfield>
field or returns &EINVAL; if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping
is not supported on the given pad.</para>
<para>To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the
<structfield>pad</structfield> and <structfield>which</structfield> fields
and all members of the <structfield>rect</structfield> field. They then call
the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return
the &v4l2-subdev-crop; contains the current format as would be returned
by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> call.</para>
<para>Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the
<structfield>which</structfield> to
<constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>. When set, 'try' crop
rectangles are not applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled
exactly as active crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle.
Two applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
each other.</para>
<para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop
rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify
the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format
should be as close as possible to the original request.</para>
