[PATCH] video.rst: a sensor is also considered to be a physical input

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add the line "Camera sensors are also considered to be a video input."

In practice all non-MC drivers for sensors support the input ioctls, and the
compliance test actually tests for the presence of these ioctls. So clarify
the documentation by explicitly mentioning sensors.
