As discussed a while ago, breaking media drivers by V4L or DVB
is confusing, as:
- hybrid devices are at V4L drivers;
- DVB-only devices for chips that support analog are at
V4L drivers;
- Analog support addition on a DVB driver would require it
to move to V4L drivers.
Instead, move all drivers into a per-bus directory, and common drivers
used by more than one driver into /common.
This is the part 1 of this idea: it moves the core drivers to
/drivers/media/foo-core, and re-arranges the DVB files.
After this patch series, the directory structure will be:
drivers/media/
|-- common
| `--<common drivers>
|-- dvb-core
|-- dvb-frontends
|-- firewire
|-- mmc
| `--<mmc/sdio drivers>
|-- pci
| `--<pci/pcie drivers>
|-- radio
| `--<radio drivers>
|-- rc
| `-- keymaps
|-- tuners
|-- usb
| `--<usb drivers>
|-- v4l2-core
`-- video
PS.: The "video" directory is currently unchanged. It currently
contains subdevs, common V4L drivers, and V4L bridges.
On this series, I avoided mixing the file tree reorganization with
menu improvements. Those will happen together with the second part,
when the devices under video will be moved to /common, /usb, /pci...
dirs.
Looks good to me. I like that saa7146 gets its own directory :-)
One request: before you commit this, can you go through the pending
patches for 3.6 and apply all the non-controversial ones? Otherwise
everyone will have to rebase their work.

Hans
