[PATCH] v4l: avoid using struct file ptrs in video-buf
This patch makes the video-buf helper module pass through a void pointer instead of a struct file pointer, that makes the code also usable when no file pointer is available. This is needed for when using the video-buf infrastructure to manage DMA buffers for DVB cards. The file pointer was used by the videobuf_queue_ops callbacks to get the drivers private data via file->private_data, now a pointer to the drivers's private data can be passed directly. Adaptions of the drivers follow with separate patches. Signed-off-by: Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
