Subject: [PATCH v10 0/4] Add a glossary for the media subsystem

There are too many technical terms at the media subsystem, and sometimes
the same thing is refered differently at the documentation and on the ML
and IRC discussions.

Let's add a glossary to the uAPI documentation, in order to start using
a common vocabulary at the subsystem's discussion and to let things
clearer for people trying to understand the subsystem.

I'm pretty sure that this document doesn't cover everything, but it can
(and should) be improved overtime.

On version 10, I addressed the comments from Hans (minor adjustments
and typos). Also, two patches were folded together.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab (4):
  media: open.rst: better document device node naming
  media: open.rst: remove the minor number range
  media: docs: add glossary.rst with common terms used at V4L2 spec
  media: open.rst: document mc-centric and video-node-centric
