 	There are newer controls (V4L2_CID_PAN*, V4L2_CID_TILT*) that provide
 	similar	functionality.

+What:	Remove the backward compatibility V4L2 selections target and selections
+	flags definitions
+When:	3.8
+Why:	The regular V4L2 selections and the subdev selection API originally
+	defined distinct names for the target rectangles and flags - V4L2_SEL_*
+	and V4L2_SUBDEV_SEL_*. Although, it turned out that the meaning of these
+	target rectangles is virtually identical and the APIs were consolidated
+	to use single set of names - V4L2_SEL_*. This consolidation didn't
+	change the ABI in any way. Alias definitions were created for the
+	original ones to avoid any instabilities in the user space interface.
+	After few cycles these comptibility definitions will be removed.
