staging: Move media drivers to staging/media
In practice, it is being hard to distinguish when a patch
should go to staging tree or to the media tree. Better
to distinguish it, by putting the media drivers at a
separate staging directory. Newer staging drivers that include
anything with "dvb*.h", "v4l2*.h" or "videodev2.h" should
go to the drivers/staging/media tree.

Both ir-kbd-i2c and lirc_zilog provide support for RX events for -the chips supported by lirc_zilog. Before moving lirc_zilog out of staging: - -a. ir-kbd-i2c needs a module parameter added to allow the user to tell - ir-kbd-i2c to ignore Z8 IR units. - -b. lirc_zilog should provide Rx key presses to the rc core like ir-kbd-i2c - does. - - -2. lirc_zilog module ref-counting need examination. It has not been -verified that cdev and lirc_dev will take the proper module references on -lirc_zilog to prevent removal of lirc_zilog when the /dev/lircN device node -is open. - -(The good news is ref-counting of lirc_zilog internal structures appears to be -complete. Testing has shown the cx18 module can be unloaded out from under -irw + lircd + lirc_dev, with the /dev/lirc0 device node open, with no adverse -effects. The cx18 module could then be reloaded and irw properly began -receiving button presses again and ir_send worked without error.) - - -3. Bridge drivers, if able, should provide a chip reset() callback -to lirc_zilog via struct IR_i2c_init_data. cx18 and ivtv already have routines -to perform Z8 chip resets via GPIO manipulations. This would allow lirc_zilog -to bring the chip back to normal when it hangs, in the same places the -original lirc_pvr150 driver code does. This is not strictly needed, so it -is not required to move lirc_zilog out of staging. - -Note: Both lirc_zilog and ir-kbd-i2c support the Zilog Z8 for IR, as programmed -and installed on Hauppauge products.
