The v4l core creates four different video devices (video, vbi, radio, vtx)
and each has its own range of minor numbers. However, modern devices keep
increasing the number of devices that they need so a maximum of 64 video
devices will not be enough in the future. In addition this scheme makes
it very hard to add new device types.
This patch disconnects the kernel number allocation (e.g. video0, video1,
etc.) from the actual minor number (just pick the first free minor).
This allows for much more flexibility in the future. However, it does
require the use of udev. For those who cannot use udev a new CONFIG option
was created that changes the allocation scheme back to the old behavior.
Thanks to Greg KH for suggesting this approach during the 2008 LPC.
In addition, several bugs were fixed in the ivtv and cx18 drivers: these
drivers try to allocate specific kernel numbers but that scheme contained
a bug which caused what should have been e.g. video17 to appear as e.g.
video2.

Replace the old register_chrdev with the more flexible register_chrdev_region.
Ensure that the release() is called when the very last chardev usage was
released, and not when the sysfs devices were removed. This should simplify
hotpluggable drivers considerably.

The driver_data field of the device structure was zeroed, thus losing
this information. Many drivers set this up before calling
video_device_register, so we have to ensure that it isn't lost.

Cleanup v4l2-dev.[ch], add/improve comments and add a new helper
function: video_drvdata() that can get the private driver data from
a file struct.

Now that all drivers set the release callback in the video_device
struct we can put in a BUG_ON in video_register_device to ensure that
the callback is always there.

Add a second release function: video_device_release_empty
It can be used by drivers that have statically allocated
video_device structs.
Its use usually, but not always, indicates laziness on the
part of the driver programmer.

The BKL is now moved from the video_open function in v4l2-dev.c to the
various drivers. It seems about a third of the drivers already has a
lock of some sort protecting the open(), another third uses
video_exclusive_open (yuck!) and the last third required adding the
BKL in their open function.

If a wrong device type is used with video_register_device_index() it should
better return an error number, instead of a constant.

Change function name in kernel-doc and add kernel-doc for parameter @index:
Warning(linhead//drivers/media/video/videodev.c:2090): No description found for parameter 'index'

source file name.

The type and type2 fields were unused and so could be removed.
Instead add a vfl_type field that contains the type of the video

The class_dev field is a normal device, not a class device. This is very
confusing and now that the old 'dev' field has been renamed to 'parent'
we can rename 'class_dev' to just 'dev'.

videodev.c became top-heavy so all the ioctl processing has been split off
into v4l2-ioctl.c. This means videodev.c is back to its original purpose:
creating and registering v4l devices.
Since videodev.c and v4l2-ioctl.c should still remain one module (as least
for now) I also had to rename videodev.c to v4l2-dev.c to prevent a
circular dependency when building a videodev.ko module. This is not a bad
thing, since the source and header now have the same name. And the v4l2-
prefix is useful to see which sources are generic v4l2 support code.
