Most of the v4l2 framework has prefixes that start with v4l2_ except for struct video_device in v4l2-dev.c. This name is becoming very confusing since it closely resembles struct v4l2_device. Since video_device really represents a v4l2 device node I propose to rename it to v4l2_devnode and rename the v4l2-dev.[ch] to v4l2-devnode.[ch]. To make the transition easier I created a v4l2-dev.h that includes the new v4l2-devnode.h and #defines the old names to the new names. I also updated the documentation to reflect the new header and naming convention. The patches are here: http://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/v4l-dvb.git?a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/v4l2-devnode Hans Verkuil (18): v4l2-devnode: renamed from v4l2-dev videodev2.h: update comment v4l2 core: use v4l2-devnode.h instead of v4l2-dev.h v4l2: rename to_video_device to v4l2_devnode_from_device v4l2: rename video_device_alloc to v4l2_devnode_alloc v4l2: rename video_device_release_empty to v4l2_devnode_release_empty v4l2: rename video_device_release to v4l2_devnode_release v4l2: rename video_device_node_name to v4l2_devnode_name v4l2: rename video_register_device to v4l2_devnode_register v4l2: rename video_unregister_device to v4l2_devnode_unregister v4l2: rename video_is_registered to v4l2_devnode_is_registered v4l2: rename video_get/set_drvdata to v4l2_devnode_get/set_drvdata v4l2: rename video_devdata to v4l2_devnode_from_file v4l2: rename video_drvdata to v4l2_drvdata_from_file v4l2: rename video_device to v4l2_devnode tea575x: convert to v4l2-devnode.h v4l2: include v4l2-devnode.h instead of v4l2-dev.h v4l2: issue warning if v4l2-dev.h is included After converting all drivers I added a warning to v4l2-dev.h when it is used. This header can be removed completely after this series has been merged in the mainline 2.6.37 kernel. It's all pretty trivial but I think the new names are much more understandable and fit well within the v4l2 framework API. Comments?
