Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] media: open.rst: add a notice about subdev-API on vdev-centric
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2017 12:11:57 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <141468a790ecffd1d5cf53a0985ef266ea70077d.1503673702.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1503673702.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1503673702.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>

The documentation doesn't mention if vdev-centric hardware
control would have subdev API or not.

Add a notice about that, reflecting the current status, where
three drivers use it, in order to support some subdev-specific
controls.
