[PATCH] I2C: new i2c video decoder calls
Attached patch adds three new calls to the i2c video decoder API. The changes were requested by Michael (CC'ed) and approved by Gerd Knorr (v4l maintainer, CC'ed). Short explanation: * INIT is a general initialization call with optional initialization data. Reason for this is that several i2c decoders (or general: clients) are being used by several adapters (main drivers), and in some cases, one adapter simply needs different settings than the other, either because the adapter is completely different or because the card was reverse engineered in a way that doesn't allow multiple adapters to run using the same original initialization data. Michael faces such a problem right now. Both he and me lack time to properly sit together and work out the exact details or a proper way to merge. * VBI_BYPASS and GPIO set specific pins on the decoder. This will be used in the saa7111 driver. My driver (zr36067, original user of the saa7111 driver) doesn't use any of this, but Michael's does.
