0684f5b0fc [media] rc-rc5-hauppauge-new: Add the old control to the table
Adds the old grey remote controller to Hauppauge table.

Hans borrowed me an old gray Hauppauge RC. Thanks to that, we
can fix the RC5 table for Hauppauge.

7f961c6989 [media] rc-winfast: Fix the keycode tables
One of the remotes has a picture available at:
	http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/leadtek/Y04G0004.jpg

As there's one variant with a set direction keys plus vol/chann
keys, and the same table is used for both models, change it to
represent all keys, avoiding the usage of weird function keys.

5bd6b0464b [media] lirc_zilog: Add ref counting of struct IR, IR_tx, and IR_rx
This is a major change to add pointer reference counting for
struct IR, struct IR_tx, and struct IR_rx object instances.
This ref counting gets lirc_zilog closer to gracefully handling
bridge drivers and hot-unplugged USB devices disappearing out from
under lirc_zilog when the /dev/lircN node is still open.  (mutexes
to protect the i2c_client pointers in struct IR_tx and struct IR_rx
still need to be added.)

This reference counting also helps lirc_zilog clean up properly
when the i2c_clients disappear.

9b28500a59 [media] lirc_zilog: Remove broken, ineffective reference counting
The set_use_inc() and set_use_dec() functions tried to lock
the underlying bridge driver device instance in memory by
changing the use count on the device's i2c_clients.  This
worked for PCI devices (ivtv, cx18, bttv).  It doesn't
work for hot-pluggable usb devices (pvrusb2 and hdpvr).
With usb device instances, the driver may get locked into
memory, but the unplugged hardware is gone.

The set_use_inc() set_use_dec() functions also tried to have
lirc_zilog change its own module refernce count, which is
racy and not guaranteed to work.  The lirc_dev module does
actually perform proper module ref count manipulation on the
lirc_zilog module, so there is need for lirc_zilog to
attempt a buggy module get on itself anyway.

lirc_zilog also errantly called these functions on itself
in open() and close(), but lirc_dev did that already too.

So let's just gut the bodies of the set_use_*() functions,
and remove the extra calls to them from within lirc_zilog.

Proper reference counting of the struct IR, IR_rx, and IR_tx
objects -- to handle the case when the underlying
bttv, ivtv, cx18, hdpvr, or pvrusb2 bridge driver module or
device instance goes away -- will be added in subsequent
patches.

  - after s-video the audio for radio didn't work, TV crashed hardly
  - after composite TV crashed hardly too.

620a32bba4 [media] rc: New rc-based ite-cir driver for several ITE CIRs
This is a second version of an rc-core based driver for the ITE Tech IT8712F
CIR and now for a pair of other variants of the IT8512 CIR too.

This driver should replace the lirc_it87 and lirc_ite8709 currently living in
the LIRC staging directory.

The driver should support the ITE8704, ITE8713, ITE8708 and ITE8709 (this last
one yet untested) PNP ID's.

The code doesn'te reuse code from the pre-existing LIRC drivers, but has been
written from scratch using the nuvoton.cir driver as a skeleton.

This new driver shouldn't exhibit timing problems when running under load (or
with interrupts disabled for relatively long times). It works OOTB with the
RC6 MCE remote bundled with the ASUS EEEBox. TX support is implemented, but
I'm unable to test it since my hardware lacks TX capability.

3e507c5591 [media] saa7134: Fix strange kconfig dependency on RC_CORE
As the code in saa7134-input is not a module, but the config for it is
set as a boolean instead of a tristate, this causes a strange dependency
on RC_CORE.

VIDEO_SAA7134_RC (which determines if saa7134-input.o is built) depends
on RC_CORE and VIDEO_SAA7134. If VIDEO_SAA7134 is compiled as 'y' but
RC_CORE is compiled as 'm' VIDEO_SAA7134_RC can still be set to 'y'
which causes undefined symbols that it needs from RC_CORE.

The simplest solution is to not allow VIDEO_SAA7134_RC be enabled if
RC_CORE compiled as a module (m) and VIDEO_SA7134 is compiled into the
kernel (y).

bedf8bcf6b [media] v4l2-device: add kref and a release function
The video_device struct has proper ref counting and its release function
will be called when the last user releases it. But no such support was
available for struct v4l2_device. This made it hard to determine when a
USB driver can release the device if it has multiple device nodes.

With one device node it is easy of course, since when the device node is
released, the whole device can be released.

This patch adds refcounting to v4l2_device. When registering device nodes
the v4l2_device refcount will be increased, when releasing device nodes
it will be decreased. The (optional) release function will be called when
the last device node was released.
