Do you think we should leave "_SUBDEV" > in subdev selection target names for now (/ever) ? I started working on removing the SUBDEV_ in between but I agree with you, there seems to be more than just a tiny bit of documentation work. It may be we'll go past 3.5 in doing that. I think the most important change was to get rid or ACTUAL/ACTIVE anyway. What we could do is that we postpone this change after 3.5 (to 3.6) and perhaps keep the old subdev targets around awhile. In my opinion the user space may (or perhaps even should) begin using the V4L2 targets already, but in kernel we'll use the existing subdev targets before the removal patch is eventually ready. This is primarily a documentation change after all. Could you rebase your exposure metering target definition patch on top of the _ACTUAL/_ACTIVE removal patches?
