613cbb91e9 media: Add MIPI CCI register access helper functions
The CSI2 specification specifies a standard method to access camera sensor
registers called "Camera Control Interface (CCI)".

This uses either 8 or 16 bit (big-endian wire order) register addresses
and supports 8, 16, 24 or 32 bit (big-endian wire order) register widths.

Currently a lot of Linux camera sensor drivers all have their own custom
helpers for this, often copy and pasted from other drivers.

Add a set of generic helpers for this so that all sensor drivers can
switch to a single common implementation.

These helpers take an extra optional "int *err" function parameter,
this can be used to chain a bunch of register accesses together with
only a single error check at the end, rather than needing to error
check each individual register access. The first failing call will
set the contents of err to a non 0 value and all other calls will
then become no-ops.

85db876b08 media: Remove the legacy v4l2-clk API
The V4L2 temporary clock helper API, was introduced
in late 2012 and, as mentioned in the documentation,
meant to be replaced by the generic clock API,
once the generic clock framework became available
on all relevant architectures.

The generic clock API is a well-established API (since a few
years now). The last few media capture drivers and sensors
using v4l2-clk have been converted to the generic clock framework.

We can now remove the v4l2-clk API.

ff768f596f media: docs: kAPI docs: move them to driver-api
All those documents describe the media driver API. So, move
them to the right place within the Kernel documentation.
