I'm applying all patches from this series that either didn't have
any comments of whose editorial comments I fully embraced.

The patches that weren't applied from this series are:
	0008-media-v4l2-device.h-document-ancillary-macros.patch
	0010-media-v4l2-ioctl.h-convert-debug-macros-into-enum-an.patch
	0014-media-v4l2-async-simplify-v4l2_async_subdev-structur.patch
	0015-media-v4l2-async-better-describe-match-union-at-asyn.patch

I'll send later a patch series with those - probably together with
other documentation patches from the other two series I sent - that
need further reviews.

Thanks,
Mauro
