From 5cf6f7f327c95f09be859889be39e78950516556 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 05:44:09 -0300 Subject: [media] v4l2-core: remove the old .ioctl BKL replacement To keep V4L2 drivers that did not yet convert to unlocked_ioctl happy, the v4l2 core had a .ioctl file operation that took a V4L2 lock. The last drivers are now converted to unlocked_ioctl, so all this old code can now be removed.
