Drop the 'experimental' annotations. The only remaining part of the API that is still marked 'experimental' are the debug ioctls/structs, and that is intentional. Only the v4l2-dbg application should use those. All others have been around for years, so it is time to drop the 'experimental' designation.

|
|
|
<para>Applications can optionally call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF</constant> ioctl to pass ownership of the buffer
|
|
to the driver before actually enqueuing it, using the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_QBUF</constant> ioctl, and to prepare it for future I/O.
|
|
Such preparations may include cache invalidation or cleaning. Performing them
|
|
in advance saves time during the actual I/O. In case such cache operations are
|
|
not required, the application can use one of
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE</constant> and
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN</constant> flags to skip the respective
|
|
step.</para>
