Yes. Well, DMA is a bad name. It won't cover USB devices, where the DMA
engine is outside the V4L2 drivers, nor it would work for RDS radio data,
with may not need any DMA at all on no-USB devices, as the data flows via
the I2C bus.

Sorry, but I didn't get. That's precisely what I did ;)

If I do this way, it would break bisectability. I need first to replace
the names, but keep them as entities, and then add the interfaces.

Yes. The above action items are covered on this series.

What patch 24 does is to define the new namespace, moving the legacy
symbols kept due to backward compatibility on a separate part of the
header.

Then, patches 25-38 replace the occurrences of the deprecated names
by the new ones.

Nothing is touched at the interfaces yet, to avoid breaking bisectability.

Then, the next patches add interfaces support at the V4L side.
