[patch] v4l: documentation update

From: Gerd Knorr
Date: Mon Apr 05 2004 - 07:43:47 EST


Hi,

This patch updates the documentation for the v4l drivers.

I'd like also remove the Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Mod*.conf files,
how to do that best? Tell Linus to "bk remove" them? Just mail a GNU
patch which does?

Gerd
