At the Video4Linux API, the /dev/video?, /dev/vbi? and
/dev/radio? device nodes are used for the chipset that
provides the bridge between video/radio streams and the
USB, PCI or CPU buses.
Such bridge is also typically used to control the V4L2 device
as a hole.
For video streaming devices and SDR radio devices, they're
also associated with the DMA engines that transfer the
video stream (or SDR stream) to the CPU's memory.
It should be noticed, however, this is not true on non-SDR
radio devices, and may also not be true on embedded devices
that, due to DRM reasons, don't allow writing unencrypted
data on a memory that could be seen by the CPU.
So, we'll eventually need to add another entity for such
bridge chipsets that have a video/vbi/radio device node
associated, but don't have DMA engines on (some) devnodes.
As, currently, we don't have any such case, let's for now
just rename the device nodes that are associated with a
DMA engine as MEDIA_ENT_T_AV_DMA.
So,
MEDIA_ENT_T_DEVNODE_V4L -> MEDIA_ENT_T_AV_DMA
PS.: This is not actually true for USB devices, as the
DMA engine is an internal component, as it is up to the
Kernel to strip the stream payload from the URB packages.
