Hi all!

This patch series removes the last remnants of the deprecated DV_PRESET API
from the kernel:

- remove the dv_preset ops from the tvp7002 driver: all bridge drivers that
  use this i2c driver have already been converted to the DV_TIMINGS API, so
  these ops are no longer used. Prabhakar, can you test this for me?

- fix some remaining references to the preset API from the davinci drivers.
  It's trivial stuff, but I would appreciate it if you can look at it, 
  Prabhakar.

- rename some CUSTOM_TIMINGS defines to DV_TIMINGS since CUSTOM_TIMINGS
  is deprecated. It certainly shouldn't be used anymore in the kernel.
  Trivial patches, but please look at it as well, Prabhakar and Scott.

- convert the s5p-tv drivers from the DV_PRESET to the DV_TIMINGS API and
  remove the DV_PRESET API. Tomasz or Kyungmin Park, can you test this?
  I do not know whether removal of the DV_PRESET API is possible at this
  stage for the s5p-tv since I do not know if any code inside Samsung
  uses the DV_PRESET API. If the DV_PRESET API cannot be removed at this
  time, then let me know. I would have to make some changes to allow the
  preset and timings APIs to co-exist. I would really like to remove the
  preset API some time this year, though, if only to prevent new drivers 
  from attempting to use the preset API.

- finally remove the remaining core DV_PRESET support.

- remove the DV_PRESET API from the videodev2.h header. Note that I am not
  at all certain if we should do this. I know that the DV_PRESET API has
  only been used in embedded systems, so the impact should be very limited.
  But it is probably better to wait for a year or so before actually 
  removing it from the header. The main reason for adding this removal is
  to verify that I haven't forgotten any driver conversions.

Comments are welcome!

Regards,

	Hans
