This is another attempt at cleaning up the media configuration for certain devices, targetting stateless codecs for now. The previous attempt was taking the bull by the horns, removing all the existing "support" configurations such as "Cameras/video grabbers support", "Analog TV support", and the like: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/62423/ This raised some concerns, but also some supporters, feel free to jump on that discussion! This series gives a different approach to reach the goal mentioned by Tomasz: enabling specific hardware. Patch 1 allows us to select the media controller API, without requiring a "support" option. In other words, it stops hiding the media controller API behing the "support" options. Patch 2 enables VIDEO_DEV (video4linux core) when MEDIA_SUPPORT is selected. With this, we can now enable specific hardware such as stateless codecs such as Hantro, Cedrus, as well as RKISP1.
