Those three patches were part of an attempt to add definitions for
some terms used at the media subsystem:
https://lwn.net/Articles/732022/
On that time, the first patch generated heated discussions, on terms
related to mc-centric/vdev-centric. The cern of the discussions were
how to call the subdev API and the non-subdev API part of the
video4linux API.
I ended by being side-tracked by other things, and didn't have a chance
to submit an updated version.
Well, now I'm doing things differently: at the glossary.rst, I removed
everything related to hardware control. So, it should contain only the
terms that there aren't any divergences. So, I hope we can manage to
merge it this time.
After having this series merged, I'll address again the MC/vdev centric
hardware control on a separate patchset, perhaps using a different
approach together with the new glossary definitions related
to it.
