With regards to media, my plan is to merge create a topic branch based
on Kernel 4.7-rc1 at:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/

As none of the Jani's patches seem to affect the media API docs, it
seems I don't need to merge back from Jon's -next branch.

There, I intend to add Markus patches with the conversion from the
DocBook to rst, plus the flat-table extension logic.

Then, I'll work to manually fix what's needed and I'll add the
automation scripting logic that we have at the DocBook Makefile
to work with the new media rst files.

Lastly, once the job's done, I'll drop Documentation/DocBook/media.

Markus,

With that regards, could you please send the patches to me?

Thanks,
Mauro
