Mauro Carvalho Chehab 9958d30f38 media: Kconfig: cleanup VIDEO_DEV dependencies
media Kconfig has two entries associated to V4L API:
VIDEO_DEV and VIDEO_V4L2.

On Kernel 2.6.x, there were two V4L APIs, each one with its own flag.
VIDEO_DEV were meant to:
	1) enable Video4Linux and make its Kconfig options to appear;
	2) it makes the Kernel build the V4L core.

while VIDEO_V4L2 where used to distinguish between drivers that
implement the newer API and drivers that implemented the former one.

With time, such meaning changed, specially after the removal of
all V4L version 1 drivers.

At the current implementation, VIDEO_DEV only does (1): it enables
the media options related to V4L, that now has:

	menu "Video4Linux options"
		visible if VIDEO_DEV

	source "drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig"
	endmenu

but it doesn't affect anymore the V4L core drivers.

The rationale is that the V4L2 core has a "soft" dependency
at the I2C bus, and now requires to select a number of other
Kconfig options:

	config VIDEO_V4L2
		tristate
		depends on (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV
		select RATIONAL
		select VIDEOBUF2_V4L2 if VIDEOBUF2_CORE
		default (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV

In the past, merging them would be tricky, but it seems that it is now
possible to merge those symbols, in order to simplify V4L dependencies.

Let's keep VIDEO_DEV, as this one is used on some make *defconfig
configurations.

config USB_PWC
tristate "USB Philips Cameras"
depends on VIDEO_DEV
select VIDEOBUF2_VMALLOC
help
Say Y or M here if you want to use one of these Philips & OEM
webcams:
* Philips PCA645, PCA646
* Philips PCVC675, PCVC680, PCVC690
* Philips PCVC720/40, PCVC730, PCVC740, PCVC750
* Philips SPC900NC
* Askey VC010
* Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000, 4000, 'Zoom', 'Notebook Pro'
and 'Orbit'/'Sphere'
* Samsung MPC-C10, MPC-C30
* Creative Webcam 5, Pro Ex
* SOTEC Afina Eye
* Visionite VCS-UC300, VCS-UM100
The PCA635, PCVC665 and PCVC720/20 are not supported by this driver
and never will be, but the 665 and 720/20 are supported by other
drivers.
Some newer logitech webcams are not handled by this driver but by the
Usb Video Class driver (linux-uvc).
The built-in microphone is enabled by selecting USB Audio support.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called pwc.
config USB_PWC_DEBUG
bool "USB Philips Cameras verbose debug"
depends on USB_PWC
help
Say Y here in order to have the pwc driver generate verbose debugging
messages.
A special module options 'trace' is used to control the verbosity.
config USB_PWC_INPUT_EVDEV
bool "USB Philips Cameras input events device support"
default y
depends on USB_PWC && (USB_PWC=INPUT || INPUT=y)
help
This option makes USB Philips cameras register the snapshot button as
an input device to report button events.
If you are in doubt, say Y.
