The better is to just add a patch for it together with the series.

Alan,

We're removing the obsolete vtx interface. It doesn't seem to be used anywere nowadays,
and this were largely superseded by the vbi interface anyway.

If it is ok for you, I'll apply the vtx removal patches, plus the one enclosed, fixing
devices.txt.

Cheers,
Mauro.

    devices.txt: Remove the old obsolete vtx device nodes
    
    Teletext interface is provided via VBI interface for a long time. There's no
    need nor is there any known program using those old /dev/vtx nodes.
