Hi Markus,

I'm wanting to start working on it next week, if possible.

I created an experimental branch on my tree for such work, where
I'm merging from both Jon's doc-next tree and from media tree at:
https://git.linuxtv.org//mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=docs-next

Could you please rebase your work with the media DocBook and with
the flat-table support to be on the top of it?

Thanks!
Mauro
