Hans de Goede 885fe18f55 [media] pwc: Replace private buffer management code with videobuf2
Looking at the pwc buffer management code has made it clear to me it needed
some serious fixing. Not only was there a ton of code duplication even
internally to pwc (read and mmap wait for frame code was duplicated), the
code also was outright buggy. With the worst offender being dqbuf, which
just round robin returned all the mmap buffers, without paying any attention
to them being queued by the app with qbuf or not. And qbuf itself was a noop.

So I set out to fix this and already had some cleanups in place when
I read Jonathan Corbet's lwn article on videobuf2, this inspired me to just
rip out the buffer management code and replace it with videobuf2, greatly
reducing the amount of code, and fixing all bugs in one go:

Many thanks to Jonathan for the timely article on this !

Say Y or M here if you want to use one of these Philips & OEM
webcams:
* Philips PCA645, PCA646
* Philips PCVC675, PCVC680, PCVC690
* Philips PCVC720/40, PCVC730, PCVC740, PCVC750

* SOTEC Afina Eye
* Visionite VCS-UC300, VCS-UM100
The PCA635, PCVC665 and PCVC720/20 are not supported by this driver
and never will be, but the 665 and 720/20 are supported by other
drivers.
Some newer logitech webcams are not handled by this driver but by the
Usb Video Class driver (linux-uvc).
The built-in microphone is enabled by selecting USB Audio support.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called pwc.
config USB_PWC_DEBUG
bool "USB Philips Cameras verbose debug"
depends on USB_PWC
help
Say Y here in order to have the pwc driver generate verbose debugging
messages.
A special module options 'trace' is used to control the verbosity.
config USB_PWC_INPUT_EVDEV
bool "USB Philips Cameras input events device support"
default y
depends on USB_PWC && (USB_PWC=INPUT || INPUT=y)
---help---
This option makes USB Philips cameras register the snapshot button as
an input device to report button events.
If you are in doubt, say Y.
