[PATCH v4 07/38] media: Documentation: v4l: Add section titles for async

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

 



Add section titles for async documentation. While the documentation is
mostly fine as-is, it has grown from its original state but remains
without internal structure. Add it now.

Also remove an extra newline.

 :c:func:`v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor` is a helper function for
 sensor drivers registering their own async sub-device, but it also registers a
 notifier and further registers async sub-devices for lens and flash devices
 found in firmware. The notifier for the sub-device is unregistered with the
 async sub-device.
