Remove redundant call to set the vinctrl register. This eliminates any ambiguity as to how the register is configured (since it is now always set in em28xx_set_outfmt).

We need to implement the g_std call, or else the default norm always gets returned, which breaks VBI capturing if you had changed the standard to NTSC using s_std. I had temporarily changed the default norm to NTSC so that zvbi-ntsc-cc wouldn't choke, so now that we are returning the correct value, switch it back to PAL as the default.

Add support for raw VBI capture for the em28xx bridge, currently only for NTSC. Support for PAL capture to follow shortly (including the removal of numerous hard-coded NTSC-specific sizes for capture buffers, etc). Note that the code currently changes the default current norm from PAL to NTSC (so that zvbi-ntsc-cc works properly). The default norm really should be moved into a board-level parameter.

Add code enabling the VBI registers for variants of the em28xx chip that support VBI, and make sure the isoc streaming code continues to work for the video component of the stream (note the video and vbi data arrive intermixed on the same isoc pipe). Note that this version just drops the actual VBI data onto the floor as opposed to processing it. The "#ifdef 0" tags are for the videobuf code that appears in the next patch in this series. We created a separate version of the isoc_copy version for parsing the version of the stream that includes VBI data. In theory, they might be able to be merged at some point in the future, but the initial goal is to ensure that we do not cause any regressions with devices that do not have VBI support.

Lindent caused some compilation breakages. There were also others related to some other changes at kernel KABI.

This is largely a straightforward conversion. The patch results in fewer output sections, and some data being reordered, but should have no functional impact. Also, note that this patch moves some data (namely, init_task and cacheline-aligned) inside [_sdata,_edata]. Because frv already builds using -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, we can't use BSS_SECTION or RW_DATA_SECTION yet, since they do not currently include the required .bss.* and .data.* sections.

Commit ac89a917 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself. That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write. Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push out data to the tty. When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details). End result: one unhappy ppp user. Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much not calling tty_wakeup()).
